Preparation

- Season the chicken with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon each of oregano and thyme, salt, and pepper, then toss to coat.
Baking
- Arrange the seasoned chicken pieces evenly among the vegetables on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender; flip the chicken halfway through for even cooking.
Serving
- Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, ensure vegetables and chicken are in a single layer on the baking sheet to promote even cooking and browning. If you like a little extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
