How to put together:
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 230C. Mix together olive oil, lemon zest, garlic, rosemary, oregano, coriander, smoked paprika, dijon mustard, salt and pepper. Reserve 1 1/2 tablespoons of the marinade in a separate bowl and set this aside.
- Rub the larger portion of marinade on the chicken thighs. Let them sit for at least 1/2 an hour, longer is even better, up to overnight.
- Gently toss the reserved marinade with the chickpeas, olives, artichoke hearts, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and onion together. Add a splash more olive oil if needed.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or oil it well. Arrange chicken and veggie mixture on the pan in mostly a single layer. Gently spoon lemon juice over the top being mindful of the rub. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper (optional!).
- Bake for 20 minutes until chicken thighs are cooked through!
Serve with rice, farro or couscous! Enjoy!
