Baked Boneless Chicken Thighs and Veggies

This meal is made with colorful vegetables and boneless, skinless chicken thighs, which are much juicier than breasts, and tossed with a simple Italian dressing marinade. The ingredients can be marinated ahead and roasted just before dinner.

Sheet Pan Chicken Ingredients

  • Italian Seasoning: Salt, onion powder, dried oregano and basil, thyme, sugar, black pepper, crushed garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar
  • Chicken: Trim the fat from eight boneless, skinless chicken thighs and season them with salt.
  • Vegetables: Zucchini, carrots, red and yellow bell peppers, red onion
  • Parsley: Garnish with flat-leaf parsley.

How to Make Baked Chicken Thighs

  1. Marinate: Combine the Italian seasoning ingredients in a large bowl. Season the chicken with salt and then add it and the vegetables to the bowl. Toss everything to coat and marinate it for at least 30 minutes or as long as overnight. Since you will be baking the vegetables, marinating them with the chicken is safe.
  2. Prep: Preheat the oven to 450° Spray two large nonstick sheet pans with oil, or line them with parchment or foil. Put the vegetables and chicken on the pans in a single layer, ensuring nothing touches. You want everything to roast, not steam.
  3. Bake the pans for 20 minutes, turn the chicken and veggies over, and roast for an additional 10 minutes. Top with parsley and serve.

What goes well with Italian chicken?

This sheet pan chicken and veggies dish is a complete meal as is. If you want to add grains, quinoa or brown rice would be great. You could also serve the baked chicken thighs with mashed potatoes or roasted potatoes. I wouldn’t recommend pasta since there isn’t much sauce.

How to Freeze

Leftover chicken and vegetables will last in the refrigerator for three days, or you can freeze the mixture. Once the meal completely cools, portion it into containers and freeze it for up to three months. To eat, thaw the food in the fridge overnight and reheat it in a 325°F-oven for about 20 minutes.

Variations:

  • Whole 30 and Paleo-Compliant: Omit the sugar in the seasoning.
  • Herbs: You can use dried thyme in the seasoning if you don’t have fresh. Also, if you’re missing an herb, try it with dried rosemary or parsley.
  • Vegetables: Sub the veggies with whatever you have on hand. Cauliflower, broccoli, and brussels sprouts would all be good.
  • Chicken: If you would chicken breasts, bake them for 20 minutes total. If you use bone-in thighs, remove the vegetables after 30 minutes and bake the thighs for an extra 10 minutes.
