Description

A delightful combination of roasted chicken with vibrant seasonal vegetables, infused with lemon and herbs for a comforting meal.


Ingredients

  • Bone-in chicken thighs or breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice and zest of 1 fresh lemon
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Mixed herbs (thyme, rosemary, parsley)
  • Seasonal vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, carrots)
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add chicken to the bowl, ensuring it’s well coated in the marinade. Let it sit for about 15 minutes.
  4. Chop your vegetables into uniform pieces and place them on the sheet pan.
  5. Nestle the marinated chicken among the vegetables on the pan.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Allow to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate chicken overnight. Rotate vegetables halfway through roasting for even cooking.
