Greek Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner

Ingredients
1 pound baby Dutch yellow potatoes (small red potatoes cut in half) (the smaller size the better)
1 pound green beans
1 head broccoli cut into florets
1 15-ounce can petite diced tomatoes (Fire roasted)
2 pounds chicken breasts
2 1/2 lemons (1 1/2 juiced, and 1 sliced)
8 cloves garlic (4 minced, and 4 sliced)
2 teaspoons salt & pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon Mural of Flavor
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 ounces feta cheese (sheep or goat's milk preferred) (2oz Mediterranean Herb)
1 large onion (medium)
2 tablespoons fresh oregano (or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried) (Mexican oregano dried)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley (plus more for garnish) (omitted)
12 pitted Kalamata olives (omitted)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Cut each chicken breast into 4-5 even-sized strips.
In a large bowl add the chicken pieces, lemon juice from one whole lemon, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and paprika, Mural of Flavor, and 2 tablespoons olive oil.   Mix together well and set bowl aside while you prepare the veggies.
Rinse beans, snip off the end with the hard nub/stem, and place them in another large bowl.  The other end should have a dainty little tail that is soft and thin and doesn’t need to be removed.
Cut bite-sized florets from a medium head of broccoli, add to the beans.
Chop one large (medium) yellow onion and add to the beans and broccoli.
Rinse (and scrub if needed) the baby potatoes and add to the veggie bowl.
Stir in one 15-ounce can of petite diced tomatoes, juice from half a lemon, oregano, parsley, 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper, and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
Pour the mixture onto a large baking sheet, add the chicken pieces (spaced evenly throughout the pan), some lemon slices, 4 thinly sliced garlic cloves, about a dozen pitted Kalamata olives, and roast at 450 degrees for 20 minutes.
Pull the pan out from the oven but don't remove.  Crumble 4 ounces of feta cheese and sprinkle onto the sheet pan and continue to cook for 5 more minutes, or until the chicken reads 165 degrees with a meat thermometer.
Serve while it's hot and garnish with chopped parsley.
