  • 2 small red onions
  • 8 cloves garlic

Start Cooking

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 420 degrees.
  2. Arrange your 8 chicken thighs on a foil lined sheet pan. Toss them in 1 tbsp olive oil and a heavy sprinkle of salt and chili flakes. I like Aleppo chili because it adds a bit of smokiness.
  3. Peel and thinly slice the onions. Thinly slice half a lemon and peel the whole garlic cloves.
  4. Arrange the onion slices, lemon, garlic cloves, and tomatoes on the vine and add the remaining tbsp of olive oil and another sprinkle of salt.
  5. Add the sheet tray to the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  6. Remove the tray from the oven and add the olives. Rotate the tray and bake for another 10 minutes.
  7. In the meantime finely chop a couple tablespoons of parsley.
  8. Plate the chicken and veggies and top with chopped parsley and a fresh squeeze of lemon before enjoying.
