Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 medium Zucchini, sliced
- 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 cup Chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet and sear for 3–5 minutes until the skin is golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Discard any excess grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon of oil in the pan.
Lower the heat to medium, add minced garlic, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add rosemary, lemon juice, and chicken broth to the skillet, stirring to combine. Place the chicken thighs back into the skillet, skin-side up.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is in the oven, heat the remaining olive oil and the butter in a separate skillet over medium heat.
Add sliced zucchini, mushrooms, and diced red bell pepper. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Once the chicken is done, remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the rosemary chicken thighs alongside the sautéed vegetables. Spoon some of the rosemary-garlic sauce from the skillet over the chicken for extra flavor.
