Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 1 medium red onion, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken thighs in a large baking dish and pour the olive oil mixture over them. Turn the thighs to ensure they are well coated in the marinade.
Add the halved baby potatoes, red bell pepper slices, zucchini slices, sliced red onion, and cherry tomatoes to the baking dish, arranging them around the chicken.
Toss the vegetables gently with the leftover marinade at the bottom of the dish to coat them lightly.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the roasted chicken and vegetables before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy a delightful, healthy Mediterranean diet meal.
