Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 250 grams cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 medium zucchini
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
While the chicken is marinating, slice the red onion and zucchini into thick rounds. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on a baking tray. Scatter the sliced onion, zucchini, and halved cherry tomatoes around the chicken.
Drizzle any remaining marinade over the vegetables.
Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, and the vegetables are tender.
Remove from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, and serve warm.
