Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup red bell peppers sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onions
  • 1 pound chicken thighs boneless and skinless
  • 2 tablespoons zesty italian seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cover a large sheet pan with parchment paper. Add the cut red peppers, red onion and the boneless chicken thighs to the sheet pan.
  • Sprinkle the zesty Italian seasoning evenly over the chicken. Drizzle the olive oil and gently mix to combine well.
  • Place chicken in the oven for 22-25 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. 

Notes

Notes:
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. 
Helpful tips:
Boneless skinless thighs are 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 need to add more.
Add paprika for additional flavor if using Italian seasoning.
Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature to ensure the chicken is cooked all the way.
