Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts or thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 3 lemons, juiced and zested
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice and zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, pepper, and olive oil to make the marinade.
- Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper, and then rub the marinade all over the chicken, making sure to get under the skin and in all the crevices. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator.
- Place the chicken in a baking dish or on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- While the chicken is roasting, prepare the salad. In a bowl, toss together the cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, sliced red onion, chopped parsley, and a drizzle of olive oil.
- Serve the chicken hot with the tomato-feta salad alongside.
