Ingredients

Extra virgin olive oil.

Red bell pepper. Orange or yellow bell peppers can be used as well.

Red onions.

Boneless skinless chicken thighs. Chicken breasts will work too. 

Zesty Italian Seasoning. This is my special blend but any Italian seasoning works. 

How to Make: 

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cover a large sheet pan with parchment paper. 

Step 2: Add the cut red peppers, red onions and add boneless chicken thighs to the sheet pan. Sprinkle the zesty Italian seasoning evenly over the chicken.

Step 3: Drizzle the olive oil and gently mix to combine well.

Step 4: Place chicken in the oven for 22 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. When done, let it cool for 2-3 minutes and then serve with your favorite pasta, rice or salad. 

Storing and reheating

Store any leftover chicken thighs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 60 seconds. 

Variations and Serving Suggestions 

For another layer of flavor add lemon juice after cooking. 

Use fresh herbs and for extra spice throw in some red-pepper flakes.

Serve on top of fettuccine and with side of crusty bread.

Add other veggies to the sheet pan like broccoli, zucchini, cherry tomatoes or carrots.

Pan sear the chicken first over medium heat and deglaze the pan with white wine. 

Helpful tips

• Boneless thighs worok best for this recipe. Bone in chicken thighs will work but you will need to increase the cooking time to 35-40 minutes. 

• There is kosher salt in my seasoning mix already so there is no neeed to add more.

• Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature to ensure the chicken is cooked all the way.
