Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 large lemons (1 juiced, 1 sliced)

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 red onion, cut into wedges

1 cup green beans, trimmed

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare Seasoning: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, chopped rosemary, and thyme.

      Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or resealable bag. Pour half of the lemon herb marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour for more flavor).

        Arrange Veggies: On a large sheet pan, arrange the sliced lemon, cherry tomatoes, red onion wedges, and green beans. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the vegetables, tossing to coat them evenly.

          Lay Chicken on Pan: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on top of the vegetables on the sheet pan.

            Roast the Dish: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (165°F internal temperature) and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

              Serve: Once cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your vibrant and flavorful one-pan meal!
