Ingredients

Servings4

Yields 4 servings

  • (4) chicken thighs
  • (1/4 cups) olive oil
  • (3 tablespoons) lemon juice
  • (4) garlic cloves, minced
  • (1 teaspoon) dried oregano
  • (1 teaspoon) salt
  • (1/2 teaspoons) black pepper
  • (2 cups) broccoli florets
  • (1 cup) bell peppers, sliced
  • (1 cup) carrots, sliced
  • (1/2 teaspoons) red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.

  3. 3

    Place 4 chicken thighs in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 cup sliced bell peppers, and 1 cup sliced carrots. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes if using. Toss to coat evenly.

  5. 5

    Spread the vegetables on a large baking sheet in a single layer.

  6. 6

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the baking sheet with the vegetables.

  7. 7

    Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75 °C) and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

  8. 8

    Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
