HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes.

02

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

03

On a large baking sheet, arrange the marinated chicken thighs in a single layer. Add the chopped zucchini, red bell pepper, and halved cherry tomatoes around the chicken.

04

Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).

05

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Ensure vegetables are cut into similar sizes for even cooking. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving brightens all the flavors.

Easy Substitutions

Chicken breasts can be used instead of thighs, but adjust cooking time as needed. Other vegetables like broccoli florets, asparagus, or red onion wedges work well. For a vegetarian option, omit chicken and add chickpeas.
