Instructions

1.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2.
In a bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, oregano, thyme, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. This is your marinade.
3.
Place the chicken thighs in a resealable bag or bowl and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to a few hours in the refrigerator.
4.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the vegetables. Toss the red onion, bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
5.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet.
6.
Place the chicken thighs in a large skillet or oven-safe pan. Arrange lemon slices around the chicken.
7.
Roast the vegetables and chicken in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
8.
While the chicken and vegetables are roasting, prepare the herbed feta. In a small bowl, combine the crumbled feta with the chopped parsley and mint.
9.
Once the chicken and vegetables are cooked, remove them from the oven.
10.
Serve the lemon chicken and roasted vegetables topped with the herbed feta. Enjoy!

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a splash of white wine to the pan with the chicken before roasting.

Serve with a side of couscous or orzo pasta for a complete meal.

Adjust the vegetables to your liking. Eggplant, potatoes, or green beans would also be delicious.

If using bone-in chicken thighs, increase the cooking time by 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C.
