Ingredients
Scale
Marinade
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried rosemary leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 8 cloves garlic, chopped
Chicken and Vegetables
- 6 chicken thighs (about 2.25 lb)
- 2 large red potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 small zucchini, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces, pieces separated
Instructions
- In small bowl or measuring cup, mix marinade ingredients.
- In large resealable food-storage plastic bag, place chicken thighs. In another large resealable food-storage plastic bag, place potatoes, zucchini, bell pepper and onion. Pour half of the marinade over contents in each bag. Seal bags; turn to coat contents with marinade. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes but no longer than 6 hours, turning bags occasionally.
- Heat oven to 400°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil. Place chicken thighs, skin side up, on one side of pan and vegetables on other side of pan. Pour any remaining marinade over chicken and vegetables.
- Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until vegetables are tender and juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (180°F), spooning juice in pan over chicken and vegetables halfway through bake time. Sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese if desired.
