Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp red wine vinegar

2 tsp dried oregano

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

1 medium red onion, sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), sliced

1 zucchini, sliced

1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice (for serving)

1 cup cucumber, diced

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved

Fresh parsley or dill, for garnish

Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the fridge for deeper flavor).

    Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup.

      Prepare the Vegetables: On the same sheet pan, arrange the sliced red onion, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, and zucchini around the perimeter of the chicken. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

        Bake: Place the marinated chicken thighs in the center of the sheet pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C) and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

          Assemble the Bowls: Once cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Allow the chicken to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing into strips.

            Build Your Bowls: In each serving bowl, add a scoop of cooked quinoa or brown rice, followed by sliced chicken and roasted vegetables. Top with diced cucumber, crumbled feta cheese, kalamata olives, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley or dill.

              Serve & Enjoy: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over each bowl before serving to brighten the flavors. Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant tastes of Greece!
