Ingredients

• 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 lemons (1 juiced and 1 sliced)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 zucchini, sliced
• 1 red onion, cut into wedges

Instructions

1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Prepare the Chicken: In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat thoroughly.

3. Arrange the Sheet Pan: Spread the chicken out on a large baking sheet. Arrange the potatoes, bell pepper, zucchini, and onion around the chicken. Tuck in the lemon slices.

4. Season and Roast: Drizzle a little more olive oil over the vegetables. Season everything with additional salt and pepper if needed.

5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and caramelized. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).

6. Serve: Allow resting for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh herbs and lemon wedges, if desired.

Final Tips

• Vegetable Choices: Feel free to swap out the vegetables based on what you have on hand. Asparagus, Brussels sprouts, or carrots work wonderfully in this recipe.
