Ingredients
-
1 pound
baby Dutch yellow potatoes
-
1 pound
green beans
-
1
15-ounce can petite diced tomatoes
-
2 pounds
boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-
2 1/2
lemons (1 1/2 juiced, and 1 sliced)
-
8
cloves garlic (4 minced, and 4 sliced)
-
4 ounces
feta cheese (sheep or goat's milk preferred!)
-
1
large onion
-
2 teaspoons
salt and pepper
-
2 tablespoons
fresh oregano (or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried)
-
2 tablespoons
fresh parsley (plus more for garnish)
-
12
pitted Kalamata olives
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
-
Cut each chicken breast into 4-5 even-sized strips.
-
In a large bowl add the chicken pieces, lemon juice from one whole lemon, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and paprika, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Mix together well and set bowl aside while you prepare the veggies.
-
Rinse beans, snip off the end with the hard nub/stem, and place them in another large bowl. The other end should have a dainty little tail that is soft and thin and doesn’t need to be removed.
-
Chop one large yellow onion and add to the beans.
-
Rinse (and scrub if needed) the baby potatoes and add to the veggie bowl.
-
Stir in one 15-ounce can of petite diced tomatoes, juice from half a lemon, oregano, 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Pour the mixture onto a large baking sheet, add the chicken pieces (spaced evenly throughout the pan), some lemon slices, 4 thinly sliced garlic cloves, about a dozen pitted Kalamata olives, and roast at 450 degrees for 20 minutes. **NOTE: I used a non-stick 12x17 baking sheet pan. Depending on the pan you use you may want to line it with parchment paper or tin foil. **
-
Pull the pan out from the oven but don't remove. Crumble 4 ounces of feta cheese and sprinkle onto the sheet pan and continue to cook for 5 more minutes, or until the chicken reads 165 degrees with a meat thermometer.
-
Serve while it's hot and garnish with chopped parsley.
