This sheet pan meal is healthy, easy to prepare, and bursting with flavor. The spices used in this easy sheet pan meal are inspired by Greek cuisine; from the warmth of coriander, to the vibrant dill, to the savory garlic and onion. A flavorful marinade made with spices, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon zest and juice and honey coats tender chunks of chicken; the chicken roasts on top of an abundance of fresh vegetables. Zucchini, eggplant, red onion and cherry tomatoes are roasted until tender, and then finished with feta cheese, kalamata olives, and fresh herbs. This healthy Greek sheet pan chicken and vegetables makes for the quickest and easiest weeknight meal, or an equally easy to prepare meal prep for lunch.
