Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pieces of bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 1 medium red onion, sliced into wedges
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
- Add chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Prepare the zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes in a separate bowl, drizzling with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and toss to coat.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Place marinated chicken on one side and arrange vegetables on the other side.
- Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C) and vegetables are tender.
- Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, and serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, warm in the oven or microwave until heated through.
- For freezing, place cooled dish in a freezer-safe container; it can last up to 3 months.
