A simple and flavorful sheet pan meal featuring juicy boneless skinless chicken thighs roasted alongside a medley of colorful vegetables. Perfect for an easy weeknight dinner with minimal cleanup.
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 1.5 pounds)
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
2 medium zucchinis, cut into 1/2-inch thick half-moons
1 cup baby carrots
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, combine the boneless skinless chicken thighs with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, black pepper, and kosher salt. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning.
In a separate large bowl, combine the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red onion, zucchini, and baby carrots. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Nestle the seasoned chicken thighs among the vegetables on the baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out for even cooking.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the chicken and vegetables before serving.
