Ingredients

– 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
– 2 red bell peppers, sliced
– 1 red onion, cut into wedges
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup olive oil

– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating this incredible Roasted Mediterranean Chicken is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry using paper towels. Season them generously with salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and paprika.
3. Prepare the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the sliced red bell peppers, red onion wedges, and cherry tomatoes. Add the minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss well until everything is evenly coated.
4. Arrange in a Baking Dish: Place the seasoned chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet. Surround them with the vegetable mixture.
5. Roast: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the skin is golden brown.
6. Baste (Optional): Halfway through cooking, use a spoon to baste the chicken with the pan juices for added flavor and moisture.
7. Rest: Once done, remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for about 10-15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
8. Garnish: Just before serving, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the dish for a burst of color and flavor.
9. Serve: Arrange on a serving platter, and enjoy the beautiful medley of colors and aromas.
