Roasted Chicken Thighs with Roasted Vegetables
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. 10 min
- In a large bowl, toss the zucchini half-moons, red bell pepper pieces, red onion wedges, and cherry tomatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. 6 min
- Pat the 1¾ pounds chicken thighs dry and rub them with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, ¾ teaspoon garlic powder, ¾ teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. 4 min
- Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, then nestle the chicken thighs on top of the vegetables. 2 min
- Roast at 425°F for 25–28 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are caramelized at the edges. 27 min
- Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and rest 5 minutes, then slice each thigh into thick strips. 5 min
Farrobase
- Rinse 1½ cups pearled farro under cold water and drain. 2 min
- Combine the rinsed farro, 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. 5 min
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25–30 minutes until the farro is tender and the broth is absorbed. 28 min
- Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. 5 min
Lemon-Herb Tahinisauce
- Finely grate 1 garlic clove, squeeze 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1½ lemons), and finely chop ¼ cup flat-leaf parsley and 2 tablespoons fresh dill. 5 min
- Whisk together ⅓ cup tahini, the lemon juice, grated garlic, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper until smooth. 3 min
- Whisk in 3 tablespoons water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dressing is pourable and silky — add an extra tablespoon if needed to reach a drizzleable consistency. 2 min
- Stir in the chopped parsley and dill, taste, and adjust salt or lemon juice as needed.
