⏱️ Prep & Cook Time
- Prep time: 15 minutes
- Cook time: 40–45 minutes
- Serves: 4
🧾 Ingredients
- 6 bone-in chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp Mediterranean Spice Blend
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 courgette, cut into thick half-moons
- 1 red pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 yellow pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 250g cherry tomatoes

🍳 Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C, 180°C fan. Pat the chicken dry and place it in a large roasting tin.
- Add the courgette, peppers, onion, tomatoes and lemon. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle over the Mediterranean Spice Blend and black pepper, then toss the vegetables and rub the seasoning over the chicken.
- Arrange the chicken skin-side up with the vegetables around it. Roast for 40–45 minutes until the chicken is golden, cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Rest for 5 minutes, then spoon the lemony pan juices over the chicken before serving.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
- Serve with couscous, crusty bread or roast potatoes.
- Add a green salad for a lighter meal.
- Use boneless thighs and begin checking after 25 minutes.
💛 Why This Recipe Works
- Chicken thighs remain juicy while the skin becomes golden.
- Roasting concentrates the sweetness of the vegetables.
- The spice blend distributes herb and garlic flavour throughout the tray.
🌿 Spice & Dipity Tip
Keep the chicken skin exposed above the vegetables so it roasts and crisps rather than steaming.
