A delicious and healthy Mediterranean-inspired chicken meal made in one pan, featuring seasoned chicken thighs, fresh vegetables, and savory toppings like olives and feta cheese.
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season chicken thighs with oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken thighs skin-side down for 5-6 minutes until golden. Flip and cook 2 more minutes.
- Remove chicken and set aside. Add peppers and onion to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes.
- Add garlic, cherry tomatoes, and olives, then return chicken to the skillet.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with feta, lemon juice, and parsley.
- Serve warm with juices from the pan.
Notes
- Bone-in chicken breasts can be used instead of thighs with adjusted cooking time.
- Great served with rice, couscous, or crusty bread.
- Optional: add zucchini or artichoke hearts for extra vegetables.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
