- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1.5 lbs small red potatoes, quartered
- 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and rosemary to make the marinade.
- Place the chicken thighs, quartered potatoes, onion wedges, and bell pepper chunks in a large bowl.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken and vegetables. Toss everything well to coat evenly.
- Arrange the chicken thighs and vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender and lightly browned.
- If using, scatter the Kalamata olives over the pan during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra tender chicken, you can marinate the thighs in the mixture for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator before baking.
- If you prefer chicken breasts, slice them in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets so they cook at the same rate as the potatoes.
- Serve this dish with a side of tzatziki sauce or a simple green salad.
