Cooking Time

45 minutes

Yields

6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 lemon, juiced (about 3 Tbs)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp REAL salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground 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 kalamata olives, pitted
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese
  • 2 Tbs finely chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425F (220C).  In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice garlic, oregano thyme, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper.
  2. Place the chicken thighs in a bowl and pour 2/3 of the marinade on top, then use your hands to toss the chicken in the marinade and make sure it's well coated.  Marinate the chicken for 10-15 minutes.
  3. while the chicken is marinating, spread the zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, and tomatoes onto the baking sheet and drizzle with remaining marinade on top.  toss together to coat the vegetables.
  4. Add the chicken thighs to the baking sheet, nestling them around the veggies, and bake for 30 minutes.
  5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, add the olives and feta and then place it back in the oven for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the chicken is cooked through to 165F.
  6. Sprinkle the chicken and vegetables with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Always remember that every oven cooks slightly differently, if you're chicken thighs aren't getting golden enough on top, you can rise the rack high in the oven or turn on the top broiler for the last minute or two.  Alternatively, if the tops are cooking too quickly, you can lower the rack in the oven or reduce the temperature slightly.
