Greek Sheet-Pan Chicken + Italian Sausage & Eggplant

Greek Sheet-Pan Chicken + Italian Sausage & Eggplant

One sheet pan, done on the grill: chicken thighs and sausage roasted over eggplant, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes, and olives with a lemon-oregano dressing, finished with feta and parsley.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs (6–8 pcs)
  • 1 lb chicken Italian sausage, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 medium eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 zucchini, halved and half-mooned
  • 1 orange or red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 medium tomatoes, wedged
  • ½ cup each Kalamata and castelvetrano olives, pitted
  • 4 oz feta, cubed
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup avocado oil
  • Juice of 2 lemons plus pulp
  • 2 garlic cloves: 1 minced, 1 whole
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more as needed
  • ½ tsp black pepper, more to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat grill to 325°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Toss eggplant, onion, zucchini, bell pepper, tomatoes, and olives with about half the dressing. Spread them across the pan.
  4. Season chicken thighs and sausage with a little salt and pepper. Add to the pan on top of all the other ingredients skin side down (or where the skin was), then drizzle the remaining dressing over everything.
  5. Roast 45 min to 1 hour, until the chicken reaches 165°F and the sausage is cooked through.
  6. Add feta during the last 5 minutes, or sprinkle it on after cooking. Broil on upper rack 2–3 minutes in the oven if you want extra color.
  7. Finish with parsley and spoon the pan juices over each serving.

Notes

  • Good with rice, orzo, pita, or just a big Greek salad.
