Zesty za'atar-marinated chicken thighs paired with a vibrant, herb- infused basmati rice and served with a dollop of creamy garlic yoghurt. A complete meal that brings the exotic flavors of the Mediterranean to your dining table.
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2
Mix the za'atar blend, the juice of one lemon, olive oil, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Marinate the chicken thighs in this mixture for at least 15 minutes.
3
Place the red onion wedges and courgette slices on the baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
4
Add the marinated chicken to the tray with the vegetables, skin side up, and bake for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
5
While the chicken and vegetables are roasting, cook the basmati rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, mix in the dried mixed herbs.
6
For the garlic yoghurt, mix together the Greek-style yoghurt, minced garlic, the juice of the second lemon, and a pinch of salt.
7
To serve, spread the garlic yoghurt on one side of the plate. Place the herby rice, roasted vegetables, and crispy chicken thighs on top. Squeeze extra lemon, if desired.
