Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 medium Red onion
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and ensure a large baking tray is ready for use.
Juice one lemon and reserve the juice. Slice the second lemon into thin rounds and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, chopped rosemary and thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or a zip-lock bag and pour the marinade over them. Massage the marinade into the chicken until well-covered. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut the red onions into wedges and the zucchinis into thick slices.
Arrange the chicken thighs on the baking tray, skin-side up, and surround them with the lemon slices, red onion wedges, zucchini slices, and cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle any remaining marinade over the vegetables and chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is golden and crispy.
Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot directly from the tray, making sure to share the vegetables evenly among the servings. Enjoy your sugar-free herb and lemon chicken tray bake!
