Description

A comforting one-pan dish with tender chicken thighs and vibrant vegetables, kissed with lemon and garlic.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • Juice of 1 lemon (about 3 tablespoons)
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it nice and warm as we prepare our ingredients.
  2. Combine the chicken thighs with olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture into the chicken.
  3. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up in a large oven-friendly skillet. Surround them with broccoli, bell pepper, and zucchini.
  4. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the veggies and sprinkle with more salt and pepper.
  5. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  6. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh thyme or parsley if using, and serve hot.

Notes

Marinate the chicken for a few hours or overnight for deeper flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
