Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 pieces lemon, zest and juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced
- 2 medium bell peppers, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon zest and juice, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Step 3
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and ensure they are well coated in the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
Step 4
Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on a large baking tray, skin side up.
Step 5
Scatter the sliced zucchini, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes around the chicken in the tray.
Step 6
Drizzle any remaining marinade over the vegetables and chicken.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, and the vegetables are tender.
Step 8
For extra crispy skin, you can broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye on it to prevent burning.
Step 9
Remove the tray from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the chicken alongside the roasted vegetables, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
