Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly with olive oil.
Wash and pat dry the chicken thighs with paper towels. Set aside.
Chop the red bell pepper, zucchini, baby potatoes, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Keep the cherry tomatoes whole.
In a small bowl, combine dried Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chopped vegetables and cherry tomatoes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle half of the seasoning mixture over the vegetables. Toss until well-coated.
Rub the remaining seasoning mixture over the chicken thighs, ensuring even coverage.
Arrange the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space for the chicken thighs.
Place the chicken thighs skin-side up between the vegetables on the baking sheet.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken thighs and vegetables.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165Β°F (74Β°C) and the skin is golden brown.
For extra crispiness, broil on high for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the dish rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Roasted Italian Chicken and Vegetables!
