Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a 14x20 sheet pan with parchment paper. Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces.
  2. Toss the cut potatoes and diced onions with olive oil, half of the minced garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Spread evenly on the sheet pan and roast for 15 minutes.
  3. Coat the chicken thighs with the remaining olive oil, garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  4. After 15 minutes, nestle the seasoned chicken thighs among the roasted potatoes, add the green beans, and scatter olives around. Return to oven and roast for another 20-25 minutes.
  5. Once cooked through, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top for a savory finish. Bake for another 2-3 minutes until cheese melts.
  6. Remove from oven, let rest for a few minutes, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
