Roasted Lemon Chicken & Vegetables

Ingredients

1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs, such as oregano or thyme, divided

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1/2 teaspoon salt, divided

1/2 teaspoon ground pepper, divided

5 cups cubed root vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots and/or turnips

1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch-thick wedges

4 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs ( 1 1/2- 2 pounds)

1 lemon, cut into 8 wedges

Directions

Preheat oven to 450°F.

Combine 2 tablespoons herbs, 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add root vegetables and onion; toss to coat. Spread on a large rimmed baking sheet.

Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons herbs, 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in the same bowl. Add chicken; toss to coat. Place the chicken on top of the vegetables and tuck 4 lemon wedges in.

Roast, stirring the vegetables twice, until the vegetables are tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken without touching bone registers 165°F, about 30 minutes. Discard the roasted lemon wedges. Squeeze the remaining 4 lemon wedges over the chicken.
