Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  2. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them in the marinade. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat.
  5. Brown the chicken thighs for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden.
  6. Add broccoli, bell pepper, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes around the chicken in the skillet.
  7. Pour any remaining marinade over the vegetables.
