Ingredients

  • 5 large bone-in chicken thighs
  • 2 bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 onion (red, sweet, or yellow)
  • 1-2 zucchinis
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp jerk seasoning (divided)

Optional:

  • green onions
  • cooked rice

Instructions

  • After prepping your zucchini, prep the chicken. Trim any excess fat and skin, then blot dry with a paper towel. Use a tablespoon of jerk seasoning (it will be like paste) and brush on both sides of the thighs (or rub on with clean hands). Place thighs on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, leaving space in between for vegetables.
  • Slice clean peppers and onions into about 6 wedges each. For this recipe, I like to split the zucchini lengthwise then slice into thick pieces. Place all off the veggies into a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Add a tablespoon of the jerk seasoning and toss everything together until the veggies are evenly coated.
  • Spread the veggies around the chicken thighs and place in an oven preheated to 425º. Bake for 30 minutes then stir the veggies around a bit. Bake for another 15-20 minutes or until thighs are thoroughly cooked (165º when taken with an instant thermometer). Top with optional sliced green onions and a side of rice.

Notes

  • See the blog post for tips on cooking zucchini.
  • Jamaican Jerk Seasoning can be very spicy! My kids prefer the mild version, but if you like more heat, add more seasoning or opt for the hot version.
