Bone-in chicken thighs soak up a garlicky lemon-oregano marinade before roasting on a single sheet pan with zucchini, red onion, bell peppers, and kalamata olives. The high heat caramelizes the vegetables while the chicken skin turns golden and crisp, making this a straightforward weeknight dinner with minimal cleanup. A finish of crumbled feta and fresh dill brings the Mediterranean flavors together.

Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges, for serving

Method

  1. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and turn to coat thoroughly in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.

  2. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a 9x13-inch rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.

  3. Arrange the zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and olives on the sheet pan and toss with any marinade remaining in the bowl.

  4. Push the vegetables to the edges of the pan and nestle the chicken thighs skin-side up in the center.

  5. Roast until the chicken skin is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F, 35 to 40 minutes.

  6. Remove the pan from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.

  7. Scatter the crumbled feta and fresh dill over the chicken and vegetables. Serve with lemon wedges.
