Ingredients
  

Marinade
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (juice of 2 large lemons)
  • 1-2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Main Ingredients
  • 1 large red onion, halved and sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 medium zucchini, halved and sliced into 1/2 inch pieces (half moons)
  • 1 large orange bell pepper, cored and sliced into 1/2 inch thick slices
  • 1 large tomato, cut into 8 wedges
  • 6-8 pieces boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives
  • 1/4 cup pitted Castelvetrano olives
  • 4 ounces feta cheese, cut into chunks
  • 1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley, for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F and position the rack in the middle.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, minced garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper. Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil to emulsify the marinade.
Cooking
  1. On a large sheet pan, spread out the sliced onions, zucchini, bell pepper, and tomato wedges evenly. Season with a little salt and pepper.
  2. Pour about 1/4 cup of the marinade over the vegetables, tossing gently to coat.
  3. Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Nestle the chicken among the vegetables on the sheet pan.
  4. Add Kalamata and Castelvetrano olives, sprinkle with feta cheese, then drizzle the remaining marinade over everything.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, then broil for a couple of minutes for added color and crispiness.
  6. Remove from oven, spoon pan juices over the chicken to keep it moist, and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Be generous with your seasoning to enhance the flavors. Feel free to substitute vegetables based on availability. Marinating chicken thighs beforehand boosts flavor significantly.
