GREECE
Serves 6
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
6 chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces
1/2 large red onion, sliced into thin wedges
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes
1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted
1/4 cup Feta cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken thighs in a bowl and pour 2/3 of the marinade on top, then use your hands to toss the chicken in the marinade and make sure it's well-coated. Marinate the chicken for 10 to 15 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, spread the zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, and tomatoes onto the baking sheet and drizzle the remaining marinade on top. Toss together to coat the vegetables.
Add the chicken thighs the baking sheet, nestling them around the veggies, and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, add the olives and feta and then place it back in the oven for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the chicken is cooked through to 165°F.
Sprinkle the chicken and vegetables with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

THAILAND
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 teaspoons red curry paste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 cup snap peas
1 cup broccoli florets
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
lime wedges
In a large bowl, combine the oil, soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, lime juice, red curry paste, garlic powder, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until they form a smooth marinade.
Add the boneless, skinless chicken thighs to the bowl. Toss them gently in the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. For the best results, let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on one side of the prepared baking sheet. On the other side, spread out the sliced bell peppers, snap peas, and broccoli florets. Make sure to leave some space between the chicken and vegetables for even cooking. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the vegetables to enhance their flavor.
Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees and the vegetables are tender.
Once cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes then garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
