Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then place in a large bowl. Add 2 tbsp olive oil, zest of 1 lemon, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Spread chicken in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Arrange 1 pint halved cherry tomatoes and 1 medium zucchini (cut into 1/2-inch half-moons) around the chicken. Add 1 red bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces) and drizzle with any remaining marinade.
  3. Step 3: Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally and vegetables are tender with lightly caramelized edges.
  4. Step 4: Squeeze 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice over the top and serve immediately.
