Greek Lemon Chicken & Potatoes

About This Recipe:

For days when turning on the stove seems too exhausting, this Greek inspired lemon chicken & vegetable sheet pan meal is a lifesaver. The hardest part about this recipe is chopping the ingredients, but other than that it’s a quick mix and toss into the oven for one hour. The kalamata olives and feta cheese are definitely not necessities, but they take the dish to a whole other level. Trust me, this meal has restaurant quality flavor and presentation, but homemade quality love and ingredients.

Enjoy!
