Ingredients

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 zucchini, sliced
1 red onion, cut into wedges
Lemon slices for garnish, optional

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken marinates, prepare the vegetables by slicing them into even pieces.
Arrange on Sheet Pan: On a large baking sheet, arrange the marinated chicken thighs and the prepared vegetables in a single layer.
Roast: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with lemon slices if desired, and serve hot.
