Ingredients

Servings4

Yields 4 servings

  • (4) bone-in chicken thighs
  • (4 cloves) garlic, minced
  • (2 tbsp) olive oil
  • (1 tbsp) fresh rosemary, chopped
  • (1 tbsp) fresh thyme, chopped
  • (1 tsp) paprika
  • (1/2 tsp) salt
  • (1/2 tsp) black pepper
  • (2) carrots, sliced
  • (1) zucchini, chopped
  • (1) red bell pepper, chopped
  • (1) yellow onion, chopped
  • (1 tbsp) balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200 °C).

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine (4 cloves) minced garlic, (2 tbsp) olive oil, (1 tbsp) chopped rosemary, (1 tbsp) chopped thyme, (1 tsp) paprika, (1/2 tsp) salt, and (1/2 tsp) black pepper. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Add the (4) chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the garlic herb mixture. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes to enhance the flavor.

  4. 4

    While the chicken marinates, prepare the vegetables. In a separate bowl, combine (2) sliced carrots, (1) chopped zucchini, (1) chopped red bell pepper, and (1) chopped yellow onion. Add (1 tbsp) balsamic vinegar and a pinch of salt, then toss to coat.

  5. 5

    In a large oven-safe skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.

  6. 6

    Flip the chicken thighs over and add the prepared vegetables around the chicken in the skillet.

  7. 7

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74 °C) and the vegetables are tender.

  8. 8

    Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
