The Method
- 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.
