GREEK SHEET-PAN CHICKEN

I love roasted vegetables and keeping things simple. One bowl and one sheet pan, that's it. You could certainly use boneless chicken and add other veggies to this Greek sheet-pan chicken. Then serve it with cucumber salad. -Sara Martin, Whitefish, Montana

To add a smoky flavor to the chicken, use smoked paprika or cumin in the seasoning blend.
If you don't have a lemon on hand, you can substitute lime or orange juice.
For a more flavorful dish, use a variety of vegetables, such as bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms.
To save time, you can use pre-cut vegetables or frozen vegetables.
