Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place 2 medium sliced zucchini (1/2-inch thick) and 1 cup cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet; drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Roast for 15-18 minutes until zucchini is tender.
  2. Step 2: Season 4 chicken thighs (6 oz each) with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken skin-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes until golden. Flip and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary to the skillet; sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Transfer skillet to oven and roast for 20-25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internally. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes before serving with roasted vegetables.
