Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin on)
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 4 cloves garlic minced fine
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
- 1 zucchini
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1/2 red onion
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives
- 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 2 tbsp parsley coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- In a small bowl, prepare the marinade: mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper. Whisk until combined.
- Place chicken thighs in a glass bowl. Drizzle 2/3 of the marinade over the chicken, tossing it with tongs to make sure all surfaces are covered. Cover and let it rest while you prepare the vegetables.
- Slice zucchini into half moons, bell pepper and red onion into thin strips. Place them on a baking sheet, along with the tomatoes.
- Drizzle the remaining marinade over the vegetables and toss well until they are all covered.
- Nestle the chicken thighs between the vegetables. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, remove from the oven. Spread the olives and crumbled feta cheese over the vegetables.
- Return to the oven and bake another 10 to 15 minutes until the chicken is nicely browned.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with parsley and serve.
Notes
- Feel free to swap in other veggies you have on hand.
- Make sure your chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe eating.
- For extra crispy skin, pop it under the broiler for a couple of minutes.
