Ingredients

• For the Chicken:

• 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on) 🍗

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• Juice of 1 lemon 🍋

• Zest of 1 lemon

• 4 cloves garlic, minced 🧄

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• 1 teaspoon dried thyme

• Salt and pepper to taste

• For the Vegetables:

• 2 cups baby potatoes, halved

• 1 cup green beans, trimmed

• 1 red bell pepper, sliced 🌶️

• 1 yellow onion, sliced

Directions

• Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs, coating them well in the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor).
• Prepare the Vegetables: On a large baking sheet, arrange the halved potatoes, green beans, red bell pepper, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
• Add Chicken to the Pan: Place the marinated chicken thighs on top of the vegetables, skin side up.
• Roast in the Oven: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C) and the skin is crispy.
• Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious one-pan meal!

Notes

• Feel free to substitute or add your favorite vegetables like carrots or zucchini to the mix.
• If you want extra crispy skin, broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes after roasting.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
