Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, juice, and zest of one lemon, finely chopped rosemary, finely chopped thyme, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Step 3
Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl and pour the herb and lemon mixture over them, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes.

Drizzle a small amount of olive oil (about 1 tablespoon) over the vegetables and season them with salt and pepper.

Step 7
Cut the second lemon into thin slices and place them on top of each chicken thigh.
Step 8
Roast in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is golden brown.
Step 9
Ensure the vegetables are tender by piercing them with a fork.
Step 10
