Mediterranean Sheet Pan Chicken & Veggies with Zesty Tahini Drizzle

Ingredients

• 10 oz Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 medium Bell peppers
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1/2 medium Red onion
• 6 olives Kalamata olives
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp Paprika
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black pepper
• as needed Olive oil spray
• 1.5 tbsp Tahini
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 2-3 tbsp Water
• 1 clove Garlic
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Pat the chicken breast strips dry with paper towels. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp paprika, 1/8 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Spray lightly with olive oil spray (or drizzle with 1/2 tsp olive oil) and toss to coat evenly.
3. On the prepared baking sheet, arrange the bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and Kalamata olives. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp paprika, 1/8 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Spray lightly with olive oil spray (or drizzle with 1/2 tsp olive oil) and toss everything directly on the sheet pan to coat evenly.
4. Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on one half of the baking sheet. Place the seasoned chicken pieces on the other half of the sheet pan, ensuring they are also in a single layer without overcrowding.
5. Roast for 15 minutes. Then, carefully remove the pan from the oven, add the halved cherry tomatoes, and gently toss them with the other vegetables. Return to the oven and continue roasting for another 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C) and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
6. While the chicken and vegetables are roasting, prepare the Zesty Tahini Drizzle. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons of water. If the sauce is too thick, add the remaining tablespoon of water, a little at a time, until you reach a smooth, pourable consistency.
7. Once cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Divide the Mediterranean chicken and roasted vegetables evenly between two plates. Drizzle generously with the Zesty Tahini Drizzle and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving immediately.
