Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 3 cups zucchini, sliced
  • 2 cups barley, cooked
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large resealable bag, combine the chicken thighs, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic, oregano, and basil. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the flavors to marinate.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss the sliced zucchini with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the zucchini on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and lightly browned.
