Sheet Pan Olive Bar Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make chicken dish that incorporates a variety of flavors from an olive bar. It typically involves marinating chicken with olive brine and spices, then roasting it on a sheet pan with olives, vegetables, and sometimes potatoes. The result is a flavorful and savory chicken with a Mediterranean twist. Here's a simple recipe to try:

• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup mixed olives from the olive bar (such as green, black, and Kalamata olives)
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 red onion, cut into wedges
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
