Ingredients:
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or breasts)
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and toss to coat. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to a few hours for extra flavor.
- Prepare the vegetables: Spread the sliced bell peppers, onion, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini on the sheet pan. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss the vegetables to coat evenly.
- Roast the chicken and vegetables: Place the marinated chicken thighs on top of the vegetables. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F) and the vegetables are tender.
- Optional feta and garnish: In the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle crumbled feta over the chicken and vegetables if desired. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
