Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • - 4 chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on
  • - 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • - 4 cloves garlic minced
  • - 1 lemon zested and juiced
  • - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • - Salt and pepper to taste
  • - 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • - 1 yellow bell pepper sliced
  • - 1 zucchini sliced
  • - 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • - Fresh parsley for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
  • Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
  • On a large baking sheet, arrange the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with a little olive oil, seasoning with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
  • Place the marinated chicken thighs on top of the vegetables on the baking sheet, skin side up. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken and vegetables.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). The vegetables should be tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Remove the pan from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
  • Extra Tips:
  • For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
  • You can also experiment with other vegetables such as asparagus or carrots, and feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste.
  • Serve this dish with a side of rice or crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices!
