Let’s dive into the world of Flavor-Packed Chicken Thighs with Colorful Veggies! 🍗✨ This dish is perfect for busy weeknights and will have your kitchen smelling divine in no time. Trust me; there’s nothing like the scent of roasting chicken and veggies filling your home after a long day.

Ingredients

Scale

4 chicken thighs
2 cups mixed vegetables (like bell peppers, zucchini, and carrots)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) so it’s warmed up and ready to work its magic.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs, mixed vegetables, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Don’t be shy—get in there and toss everything until that chicken is coated in all those delicious flavors!
Transfer your colorful mixture to a baking dish. Make sure to spread it out evenly so that everything roasts up beautifully.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes. You’re looking for the chicken to be thoroughly cooked (165°F internally) and the veggies to be tender—think of them as little joy nuggets waiting to be devoured.
For a lovely finishing touch, garnish with fresh herbs if you’re feeling fancy, and serve hot!

Notes

If you want to get fancy with your veggies, feel free to swap them out with whatever you have on hand. Broccoli, asparagus, or even sweet potatoes can shine with this recipe.
Don’t worry if your sauce looks a little lumpy—that’s all part of the magic! It’s just the caramelization coming through.
Got leftovers? They make an awesome topping for a salad or mixed into a wrap for lunch.
