Lemon-Oregano Chicken Thighs with Artichokes, Olives and Zucchini
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 can (14 oz) quartered artichoke hearts in water (about 240 g drained), drained and patted dry
- 1 medium zucchini (about 200 g), cut into half-moons
- 1 medium red onion (about 150 g), cut into wedges
- 1/4 cup pitted green or Kalamata olives (about 40 g)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- salt
- pepper
- Optional side:
- cooked quinoa
Directions
- Heat the oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan.
- Toss the artichokes, zucchini, onion and olives with half the oil, half the oregano, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Spread on the pan.
- Pat the chicken dry. Rub with the remaining oil, the rest of the oregano, the garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, lemon zest, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Nestle the chicken among the vegetables.
- Roast 22 to 25 minutes, until the chicken reaches 175°F and the edges of the vegetables brown.
- Squeeze the lemon juice over the pan and sprinkle with the parsley. Divide among plates and serve each portion with some of the vegetables, plus a small scoop of quinoa if you like.
