Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs about 6 medium thighs
  • 1 lb baby potatoes halved if larger than 1 inch
  • 8 oz baby carrots peeled if desired
  • 1 medium red onion cut into 1-inch wedges
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice about 1 lemon, freshly squeezed
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1.5 tsp kosher salt divided
  • 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper divided
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 4 wedges lemon for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, 1 tsp of salt, and 0.25 tsp of pepper to create your marinade.
  3. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss them well to coat in the marinade. Let them sit for about 10 minutes.
  4. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. In a large baking dish, combine the baby potatoes, baby carrots, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining salt and pepper. Toss well.
Cooking
  1. Place the marinated chicken thighs on top of the vegetables in the baking dish.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  3. Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warm. Consider marinating the chicken longer for extra flavor if time allows.
