Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish or roasting pan.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Brush the garlic olive oil mixture over the chicken on all sides and set aside.
In the prepared baking dish, layer the chopped cabbage, cherry tomatoes, and cannellini beans. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the seasoned chicken thighs on top of the vegetable mixture, skin-side up, ensuring they are spaced evenly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crisp.
In the final 5 minutes of baking, drizzle the entire dish with the lemon juice for a bright citrus finish.
Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro before serving.
Serve hot, plating one chicken thigh with a generous scoop of the roasted vegetables and beans per serving.
