1
Preheat the oven to 425 °F (220 °C). Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and zest, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
3
Add the chicken pieces and halved potatoes to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat everything evenly with the marinade.
4
Spread the chicken and potatoes in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Arrange the onion wedges and bell pepper slices around them, and drizzle any remaining marinade over everything.
5
Roast in the oven for 35–40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 °F and the potatoes are tender.
6
During the last 10 minutes of roasting, scatter the pitted Kalamata olives across the pan and flip the chicken pieces over for even cooking.
7
Remove the pan from the oven and crumble feta cheese over the top. Return to the oven for about 10 more minutes until the feta melts, the olives warm through and release their briny flavor, and the potatoes are fork-tender.
8
Transfer to a serving platter and garnish generously with fresh parsley. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side, along with Greek salad, rice, or warm pita bread.
