Greek Sheet Pan Chicken: Easy Weeknight Dinner with Ladolemono

Jump to Recipe

If there is one sauce that captures everything we love about Greek cooking, it is ladolemono.

Olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt. That is it. Five ingredients that together taste like a Greek summer. It is the base of this sheet pan and the reason this dish works every single time.

The beauty of a sheet pan dinner is the flexibility. The ladolemono marinade is so versatile that you can swap in whatever vegetables you have. Thinly sliced potatoes work beautifully. Cherry tomatoes instead of a larger cut are great. Add the olives raw or let them roast on the pan. There are no hard rules here.

I bought the dips and pita to make my life easier, but we will be posting recipes for hommus and tzatziki from scratch soon. Either way, serve them alongside — they are not optional.

Love Greek food? This dish pairs perfectly with a lazy afternoon in the Mediterranean sun. If you are planning a trip southern Europe, check out our travel guides on the getAwayZ.
