Ingredients
Scale
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 large red onion, cut into wedges

- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat. Let marinate for 30 minutes if possible.
- Place the chicken on the pan, then add bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and olives. Toss lightly to coat with marinade.
- Spread everything evenly in a single layer for even roasting.
- Roast for 35–40 minutes, flipping vegetables halfway through, until chicken skin is crispy and golden.
- Top with crumbled feta and fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Marinating enhances flavor—don’t skip if time allows.
- Use high-quality olive oil for the best taste.
- For a dairy-free version, skip the feta or use plant-based cheese.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven to retain crispness.
