This easy and incredibly flavorful chicken recipe is my go-to main dish to serve more than two people. It comes together rather quickly and is always a crowd-pleaser!  Serve this chicken recipe with a Mediterranean Kale Salad and either roasted carrots or roasted winter squash for a balanced, nutrient-dense meal. 

2½ pounds bone-in chicken thighs
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large lemons cut into wedges
½ small red onions cut into wedges
2 cups cherry tomatoes
½ cups castelvetrano olives
6 cloves garlic peeled

Spice Mixture

2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoons black pepper
¾ teaspoons sea salt
1 tablespoons minced fresh oregano
2 tablespoons minced parsley
1 tablespoons lemon juice
