💡 Chef’s Tip

For an extra layer of flavor and a slightly smoky char, turn on your broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Keep a close eye to prevent burning, as things can brown quickly under the broiler.

⏰ Make-Ahead Instructions

The marinade can be prepped up to 24 hours in advance. Store marinated chicken and vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The whipped feta can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in the fridge, covered. Whisk briefly before serving if needed.

🔄 Ingredient Substitutions

Feel free to swap chicken with firm white fish (like cod or halibut) or chickpeas for a vegetarian option. Add Kalamata olives or artichoke hearts to the sheet pan for more Mediterranean flair. If you don’t have Greek yogurt, a touch of cream cheese or even a splash of milk can help achieve a creamy whipped feta texture.
