Easy Chicken Tray Bake
Description
Easy Chicken Tray Bake is a one-pan meal with chicken thighs and a colorful assortment of vegetables including green and red bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, shallots, and potato chunks. The ingredients are marinated in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice and zest, crushed garlic, sea salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and thyme, which imparts herbal and citrus flavor throughout the dish. The chicken and vegetables roast together until the chicken is cooked through, and the potatoes are tender. Crumbled feta cheese added at the end brings a creamy, salty contrast, while fresh basil garnishes brighten the dish and add fragrance. This recipe balances hearty protein and vegetables with fresh herbs and tangy cheese for a satisfying meal.
