Start by mixing together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Place the chicken thighs in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over them, making sure each piece is coated. Let the chicken marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, preheat your oven to 375°F. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and thinly slice the red onion. Toss them in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge and place them in a baking dish. Pour any excess marinade over the chicken. Add the prepared vegetables to the dish, arranging them around the chicken. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
And there you have it, a mouth-watering and juicy Italian chicken dish that will impress even the pickiest eaters. This recipe is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion, and it's easy to customize with your favorite herbs and vegetables.
