Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
For the Vegetables
  • 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 bell peppers (red and yellow), sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • ½ cup Kalamata olives
  • 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled

Method
 

  1. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken thighs and toss to coat completely. Let sit for at least 10 minutes while prepping vegetables.
  2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. Cut red onion into thick wedges, slice bell peppers into strips, and slice zucchini into ¼-inch thick half-moons.
  3. Place marinated chicken thighs on one side of the prepared sheet pan, leaving space between pieces. Scatter prepared vegetables around chicken, drizzling any remaining marinade over everything. Add cherry tomatoes and olives last.
  4. Roast for 25-30 minutes until chicken reaches internal temperature of 165°F and juices run clear. Vegetables should be tender with slightly caramelized edges.
  5. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle crumbled feta over hot vegetables. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.

Notes

Marinate chicken up to 4 hours ahead and pre-cut vegetables for quicker assembly. Store leftovers for up to 3 days in refrigerator - tastes even better the next day. Reheat in 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes. Don't overcrowd the pan to ensure proper browning. Can substitute chicken breasts for thighs but reduce cooking time to 20-25 minutes.
