# Lemon chicken with roasted vegetables

Golden chicken and colourful caramelised vegetables, all ready at the same time.

- **Prep**: 18 min
- **Cook**: 42 min
- **Rest**: 8 min
- **Difficulty**: Easy
- **Serves**: 6 personnes

## Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs, 200–225 g each
- 600 g Zucchini
- 500 g Carrots
- 400 g Red bell peppers
- 250 g Red onion
- 2 Lemons
- 4 tbsp Olive oil

## Steps
1. **Chop and season** — Cut the zucchini, peppers and onion into 3 cm pieces, then cut the carrots into 1 cm slices. Pat the chicken dry. Toss the vegetables with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and half the measured salt and pepper. Coat the chicken with the remaining tablespoon of oil, lemon zest, thyme and seasoning. Keep the lemon juice for later in the roasting time.
2. **Arrange in one layer** — Spread the vegetables over a large tray, place the chicken skin-side up and tuck lemon wedges between the pieces. Use two trays if the ingredients overlap.
3. **Roast and baste** — Roast at 200°C for 42 minutes. After 21 minutes, turn the vegetables and spoon the tray juices over the chicken without turning it; after 30 minutes, pour the juice of half a lemon over the tray. Return the tray to the oven promptly after each action so its temperature does not drop.
4. **Check and rest** — Insert a thermometer into the thickest part of a chicken thigh without touching the bone. When it reads 74°C, move the chicken to a clean serving dish and rest it for 8 minutes before serving with the vegetables. If a piece reads below 74°C, return the whole tray to the oven for 5 minutes, then check again.
