Yields 4 servings

  • (4) chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
  • (1/4 cups) olive oil
  • (2 tablespoons) lemon juice
  • (2 teaspoons) dried thyme
  • (2 teaspoons) dried rosemary
  • (2 teaspoons) garlic powder
  • (1 teaspoon) salt
  • (1/2 teaspoons) black pepper
  • (1) zucchini, sliced
  • (1) bell pepper, chopped
  • (1 cup) cherry tomatoes
  • (1/2 teaspoons) paprika

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 teaspoons dried thyme, 2 teaspoons dried rosemary, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to create the marinade. Add 2/4 teaspoon black pepper and 2/4 teaspoon paprika.

  2. 2

    Add the 4 chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.

  3. 3

    While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables by slicing 1 zucchini, chopping 1 bell pepper, and halving 1 cup cherry tomatoes.

  4. 4

    After marinating, preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193 °C) for about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Place the marinated chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, skin side up, and cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74 °C).

  6. 6

    In the last 10 minutes of cooking the chicken, add the prepared vegetables to the air fryer basket, sprinkling them with 1/2 teaspoon paprika and a pinch of salt.

  7. 7

    Once cooked, remove the chicken and vegetables from the air fryer and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
