My family loves this dish! There's nothing better than oven baked boneless chicken thighs for dinner. It looks and tastes like you fussed, but it is really simple to make. These roasted chicken thighs use healthy olive oil and fresh herbs from my garden. —Pattie Prescott, Manchester, New Hampshire

Ingredients

2 pounds red potatoes (about 6 medium)
2 large sweet red peppers
2 large green peppers
2 medium onions
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 teaspoons minced fresh thyme or 1-1/2 teaspoons dried thyme, divided
3 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed, divided
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 450°. Cut potatoes, peppers and onions into 1-in. pieces. Place vegetables in a roasting pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil; sprinkle with 2 teaspoons each thyme and rosemary and toss to coat. Place chicken over vegetables. Brush chicken with remaining oil; sprinkle with remaining thyme and rosemary. Sprinkle vegetables and chicken with salt and pepper.
Roast until a thermometer inserted in chicken reads 170° and vegetables are tender, 35-40 minutes.

Test Kitchen Tips

Boneless skinless chicken thighs work well in the slow cooker. The meat shreds easily, yet stays moist due its slightly higher fat content. They're also cheaper than chicken breast, making it ideal for budget-friendly weeknight dinners.

Common olive oil works better for cooking at high heat than virgin or extra-virgin oil. These higher grades have ideal flavor for cold foods, but they smoke at lower temperatures.
