Sheet Pan Chicken with Zucchini and Tomatoes

Seasoned to perfection, this Sheet Pan Chicken with Zucchini and Tomatoes is sure to satisfy. I love the ease of this recipe. Everything is roasted on just one sheet pan, and comes together in less than 1 hour. Healthy, colorful, and beyond delicious, this one-pan recipe makes for a perfect weeknight dinner the whole family will enjoy.

To make this recipe, start by preparing a mixture of garlic, oregano, coriander, red pepper, and extra-virgin olive oil in a small bowl. Arrange the zucchini and chicken thighs, seasoned with salt and black pepper, on a large rimmed sheet pan. Pour the garlic olive oil mixture over all and toss to coat. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, then add the tomatoes. Roast for additional 7-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, zucchini is browned and caramelized, and tomatoes are juicy. Once done, remove from the oven and drizzle some aged balsamic vinegar over the finished chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
