Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 large red onion, sliced

1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted

2 zucchini, sliced into half-moons

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Feta cheese, crumbled (for garnish)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Chicken Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.

      Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated in the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours if you have time).

        Prepare the Vegetables: On a large sheet pan, arrange the cherry tomatoes, red onion slices, Kalamata olives, and zucchini. Drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

          Add the Chicken: Remove the marinated chicken from the bowl and place it on top of the veggies on the sheet pan.

            Bake: Transfer the sheet pan to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C) and the vegetables are tender.

              Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and fresh parsley before serving.

                Enjoy: Serve the chicken and veggies warm, either on their own or with rice, couscous, or pita bread.
