Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil
8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 pound green beans
2 cups mixed cherry tomatoes
1 loaf crusty ciabatta bread
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • To a bowl or pitcher, add the vinegar, parsley, basil, salt, pepper, garlic and 1 cup of the olive oil. Whisk until well combined.
  • Put the chicken in a large zipper bag and pour in half the dressing. Seal the bag and squish to coat the chicken.
  • Trim the ends of the green beans and put in a large bowl with the tomatoes. Pour over the remaining dressing and toss.
  • Using tongs, arrange the chicken skin-side up on a sheet pan. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the beans and tomatoes to the sheet pan, leaving the excess marinade behind. Roast for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, rip the bread into large chunks. Add to a bowl, drizzle with the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and toss.
  • After the chicken and vegetables have roasted for 20 minutes, shake the pan to prevent sticking, then add the bread chunks to the pan.
