Crispy Lemon-Herb Chicken Thighs with Roasted Zucchini
Tender chicken thighs pan-seared to a golden finish and served alongside zucchini roasted with aromatic herbs and a bright, zesty lemon squeeze.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cups sliced zucchini
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp dried oregano
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp fresh lemon zest
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Place the sliced zucchini on the baking sheet and toss with 0.5 tbsp of the olive oil, half of the sea salt, and half of the black pepper.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with the dried oregano, garlic powder, lemon zest, and the remaining salt and pepper.
Heat the remaining 0.5 tbsp of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the chicken thighs in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes until a deep golden crust develops on the bottom.
Flip the chicken and transfer the skillet to the oven along with the baking sheet of zucchini.
Roast for 12-15 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the zucchini is tender with slightly caramelized edges.
Remove from the oven and drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the chicken and zucchini to brighten the flavors before serving.
