Ingredients
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs, cherry tomatoes, lemon slices, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss everything until the chicken is well coated.
Transfer the chicken mixture to a baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C). Garnish with fresh rosemary before serving.
