Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat chicken thighs dry and place in a bowl. Add 3 tbsp olive oil, 6 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped thyme, 1 finely grated lemon zest, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Toss to coat evenly, then marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut zucchini and bell peppers into 1-inch pieces, then toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Step 3: Place marinated chicken thighs skin-side up on the baking sheet over the vegetables. Add cherry tomatoes around the edges.
  4. Step 4: Roast for 35-40 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), vegetables are tender with golden edges, and chicken skin is crispy.
  5. Step 5: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving, drizzling with any pan juices.
