Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 medium red onion, sliced
1 bell pepper, sliced
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Slice the zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion. Mince the garlic.
3. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
4. Add chicken thighs to the marinade and toss well. Let sit for 15 minutes.
5. Spread vegetables evenly on a sheet pan. Nestle the chicken thighs among them.
6. Pour remaining marinade over the pan.
7. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked and vegetables are tender.
8. In the last 5 minutes, sprinkle crumbled feta on top and return to the oven.
9. Remove from oven, garnish with parsley, and serve hot.
Notes
Let the chicken marinate longer (up to overnight) for extra flavor.
Don’t overcrowd the pan or the veggies will steam instead of roast.
Add feta only during the final minutes of baking to avoid burning.
