INGREDIENTS

  • 0 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Real Lemon lemon juice, 100%
  • 1 Tbsp garlic herb sensation seasoning
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 0 1/2 tsp lemon zest
  • 0 1/2 tsp fresh garlic
  • 0 1/2 tsp table salt
  • 6 ea raw chicken thigh, with skin
  • 2 cup fresh broccoli

  • 0 3/4 ea fresh yellow bell pepper, large, 3 3/4"
  • 12 ea fresh red cherry tomatoes
  • 0 1/2 ea fresh red onion, medium, 2 1/2"
  • 3 oz kalamata olives, pitted

DIRECTIONS

Ingredient note: for this recipe, we suggest finding 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs that weigh a total of about 2 ½ pounds. Larger or smaller chicken thighs will take different amounts of time to fully cook. For chicken thighs over 7 ounces a piece, bake them alone for about 15 minutes before adding the vegetables and finishing the baking process.


  1. Heat oven to 425°.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together oil, lemon juice, garlic and herb seasoning, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, minced or pressed fresh garlic, and salt. Place chicken thighs in a separate bowl and coat in ¼ cup of the lemon marinade. Allow chicken to marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  3. Into the bowl with the remaining lemon marinade, add broccoli, 1-inch chunks of zucchini, 1-inch pieces of yellow pepper, cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion. Toss until evenly coated and then spread evenly on a sheet pan. Nestle marinated chicken in among the vegetables, topping with any marinade left in the bowl.
  4. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven, scatter olives and crumbled feta across the sheet pan and bake 10 minutes more, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
  5. To serve, layer each plate with 1 cup baby spinach, then top with one chicken thigh and about ¾ cup cooked vegetables with feta. Enjoy while warm.
