Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken Thighs with Veggies

"Adapted from Simply recipes.com" 

Ingredients:

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 lemon (zested and juiced)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 zucchini, sliced

1 red onion, sliced

1 bell pepper (any colour), sliced

Fresh parsley for garnish

Method:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C)

Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, lemon zest and juice, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper

Marinate the chicken: Rub the marinade all over the chicken thighs, making sure to get under the skin if possible

Let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for more flavour

Arrange vegetables: In a baking dish, toss zucchini, red onion, and bell pepper with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper

Place the chicken thighs among the vegetables

Roast: Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken skin is crispy and an internal thermometer reads 165°F (74°C)

Serve: Garnish with extra lemon wedges and parsley, if desired.
