Ingredients

4 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs (or chicken breasts)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 lemon (juice and zest)

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 red onion, sliced

1 bell pepper, sliced

1 zucchini, sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes (optional)

½ cup Kalamata olives (optional)

Fresh parsley or feta cheese for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Marinate the Chicken:
    In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
    Place the chicken thighs (or breasts) on a sheet pan and pour the marinade over them, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more flavor.

  3. Prepare the Vegetables:
    While the chicken is marinating, slice the red onion, bell pepper, and zucchini into strips. Arrange the vegetables around the chicken on the sheet pan.

  4. Add Optional Ingredients:
    Add cherry tomatoes and Kalamata olives (if using) to the pan.

  5. Roast the Chicken and Vegetables:
    Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the vegetables are tender.

  6. Garnish and Serve:
    Garnish with fresh parsley or crumbled feta cheese, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Chicken Breasts: You can substitute chicken thighs for boneless, skinless chicken breasts if you prefer leaner meat. Just be mindful of the cooking time as breasts may cook faster.

  • Vegetable Variations: Add or substitute vegetables like eggplant, carrots, or sweet potatoes for more variety.

  • Spicy Version: Add red pepper flakes or a chopped chili pepper to the marinade for extra heat.

  • Low-Carb: For a low-carb or keto diet, stick to zucchini, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes, and avoid higher-carb vegetables like potatoes.
