DIRECTIONS

Directions Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C).

Season the chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken thighs with olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, Mediterranean Greek seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.

Assemble the tray:

Spread chickpeas, tomatoes, and (optional) peppers/onions on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Add chicken: Nestle the seasoned chicken on top of the vegetables.

Roast: Bake 28–32 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temp of 165°F and tomatoes have softened and blistered.

Finish: Squeeze extra lemon on top. Garnish with parsley and feta if desired.

🔥 Chef Tips High-Protein Swap: Replace chicken thighs with chicken breast if you need lower calories and higher protein.

Make It a Bowl: Serve over cauliflower rice or a simple cucumber herb salad for a low-carb option.

Crispier Chickpeas: Broil for 3–4 minutes at the end.
