How to Make Oven-Roasted Chicken Thighs with Vegetables
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Make the Herb Marinade
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Season the Chicken
Coat the chicken thighs thoroughly with the marinade. Let rest for 10 minutes to absorb flavor.
Prepare the Vegetables
Arrange potatoes, carrots, onion, and bell peppers in a large baking dish. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and season.
Assemble & Roast
Place the marinated chicken thighs on top of the vegetables. Roast uncovered for 30 minutes.
Add Broccoli & Finish Cooking
Add broccoli florets and return to the oven for 15 more minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) internally and the vegetables are tender.
Optional Broil
For extra crispy roasted chicken thighs, broil for 2–3 minutes.
Garnish & Serve
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.
