Ingredients
  

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 large zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 bell pepper (any color), chopped

1 large red onion, cut into wedges

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Chicken Marinade: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

      Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or a resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).

        Prepare the Vegetables: On a large baking sheet, add zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Toss the veggies until they are well coated.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Create space for the chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet among the vegetables. Place the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up on the baking sheet.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken thighs are golden brown and have an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). The veggies should be tender and slightly caramelized.

              Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve the chicken thighs with the roasted vegetables on the side.
