Instructions

  • Whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and dried oregano in a large mixing bowl. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
  • Heat a large ovenproof skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season both sides of the marinated chicken thighs with salt and ground black pepper. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and sear both sides for about 10 minutes, until golden brown and the skin is crispy. Flip the chicken thighs and let them cook skin side up.
  • Add the asparagus, zucchini, and lemon slices to the skillet.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Serve immediately.

Notes

Recipe Source: Delish
  • Use either chicken thighs or chicken breast as you prefer. 
  • Marinate the chicken for 15 minutes to 2 hours in the refrigerator for a rich flavor.  
  • Pair the chicken with Mediterranean vegetables like asparagus, zucchini, tomatoes, or bell peppers to complement the flavors and add color to the dish.
  • Sear the chicken in a hot skillet to develop a golden brown crust and lock in juices before finishing it in the oven. This step helps to add depth of flavor to the dish.
