Oven-Roasted Lemon Herb Chicken with Mediterranean Vegetables

Ingredients

Main Ingredients:
- 8 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1/2 cup lemon juice (about 2 large lemons)
- 1/4 cup olive oil

Marinade and Seasoning:
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste

Vegetables:
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 bell peppers, sliced (any color)
- 2 tomatoes, cut into wedges

Garnish:
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken:
- In a large bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, oregano, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
- Add chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for enhanced flavor.

2. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange baby potatoes, onion, bell peppers, and tomatoes in a large roasting pan. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

3. Combine and Roast:
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later. Place the chicken thighs skin side up over the vegetables.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken and vegetables to infuse flavors during roasting.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

4. Final Touches:
- Once done, remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top before serving.
