How long to cook sheet pan chicken and potatoes in the oven?

I usually roast the potatoes first for 20 minutes at 425°F, then add the chicken and cook for another 20-25 minutes. The chicken should be golden and cooked through, while the potatoes are tender and crispy on the edges.

How do you cook Greek chicken and lemony potatoes in a sheet pan?

I toss the potatoes in olive oil, lemon, and seasoning, then nestle the chicken among them with garlic, onions, and herbs. Roasting everything together lets the flavors mingle, giving the potatoes and chicken a zesty, herby taste.

How do you bake a simple Mediterranean chicken tray?

I keep it simple by layering chicken, potatoes, onions, garlic, and lemon slices on a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil and seasonings, and finish with fresh herbs and feta after roasting. It’s straightforward but full of flavor.

Should baked chicken be covered or uncovered in the oven?

I bake it uncovered so the skin gets golden and crispy, and the flavors from the herbs, garlic, and lemon can concentrate in the pan. Covering it can make it softer, but I prefer that crispy, roasted finish.
