Instructions
Step By Step Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, toss the zucchini, bell pepper, onion, cherry tomatoes, carrots, and potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, oregano, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Place seasoned vegetables on a large sheet pan in a single layer.
Rub chicken thighs with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Nestle the seasoned chicken thighs among the vegetables on the sheet pan.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
Optional: Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for crispy skin.
Remove from oven, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
- For extra crispy skin, broil the sheet pan chicken thighs and veggies for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
- You can substitute chicken thighs with boneless, skinless chicken breasts — reduce cooking time accordingly.
- Serve with quinoa, couscous, or a fresh side salad for a complete Mediterranean meal.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
