Ingredients

6-8 chicken thighs about two pounds
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
4 cloves garlic minced
2 teaspoons oregano dried
1 teaspoon thyme dried
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
1 medium zucchini halved lengthwise and sliced
1 medium red onion sliced into wedges
1 pint of cherry tomatoes
1 yellow bell pepper sliced into 1-inch pieces
¼ cup pitted Kalamata olives
¼ cup pitted Castelvetrano olives
¼ cup feta cheese
2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (or 220°C).
In a small bowl, add in the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, oregano, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper, and whisk together properly.
In a bowl, toss in the chicken thighs and pour about ⅔ of the mix you just made in with it, toss the chicken around with your hands until it is well coated. Allow to marinate for 12-15 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, spread the veggies (zucchini, red onion, tomatoes, bell pepper) onto a large baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the vegetables and toss together till the veggies are well coated.
Add the chicken thighs to the baking sheet, close to the vegetables. Bake in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and spread the olives and feta cheese around. Bake for an additional 12-15 minutes.
Garnish the dish with some freshly chopped parsley before serving. You can serve it with a side of white rice or even mashed potatoes.

Notes

You can also use chicken breast in place of the thighs but make sure to reduce the initial baking time to 20-25 minutes as the breast cooks faster than the thighs.
And yes, you can use lime juice in place of lemon juice.
