Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated.
3. Prepare the Vegetables: In a separate bowl, combine zucchini, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and red onion. Toss with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
4. Assemble the Sheet Pan: Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs on one side of the sheet pan. Spread the vegetables around the chicken evenly. Drizzle lemon juice over everything.
5. Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the vegetables are tender.
6. Broil for Crispiness: For a slightly crispier texture, broil the sheet pan on high for an additional 2-3 minutes.
7. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
