Description
A vibrant and healthy one-pan meal featuring juicy chicken thighs, roasted Mediterranean vegetables, salty olives, and feta cheese.
Ingredients
1/2 cup olive oil
1 lemon (juiced, about 3 tablespoons)
4 garlic cloves (minced)
2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
1 medium zucchini (halved lengthwise and sliced)
1 yellow bell pepper (chopped into 1-inch pieces)
1/2 large red onion (thinly sliced into wedges)
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes
1/2 cup kalamata olives (pitted)
1/4 cup feta cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425’F (220’C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl and pour 2/3 of the marinade over them. Toss with your hands to coat thoroughly. Marinate for 10-15 minutes.
- While the chicken marinates, spread the zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes onto a large baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining 1/3 of the marinade over the vegetables and toss to coat.
- Nestle the chicken thighs into the vegetables on the baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Add the kalamata olives and crumble the feta over the top. Return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165’F.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- Ensure the chicken skin is facing up for maximum crispiness.
- Do not overcrowd the pan; use two pans if needed.
