Baked Chicken Thighs with Potatoes, Peppers and Olives

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425ºF  Set oven rack in the middle of the oven.

Step 2

Combine the spices in a small bowl: 1½ tbs paprika, 2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine everything else: chicken, peppers, potatoes, garlic, olives, tomatoes, zucchini and olive oil. Sprinkle spice mix evenly over everything and toss well to fully combine.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to a large baking pan or sheet pan and spread out the chicken and vegetables as much as possible, making sure the chicken pieces have nothing on top of them. Sprinkle the chicken pieces with the remaining ½ teaspoon of pepper and a few pinches of salt.

Step 5

Bake for 20 minutes. Toss the potatoes and vegetables. Turn the chicken over to moisten with the juices in the bottom of the pan. Close the oven and continue to cook everything for 10-20 minutes longer, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through and the vegetables are done to your liking. If the chicken is done before the vegetables, transfer it to a platter and tent with foil and continue to cook the vegetables until they're tender and done to your liking.
