Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Place chicken thighs in a bowl, pour ⅔ of the marinade over them, and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
Spread zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, and tomatoes on a heavy-duty sheet pan. Drizzle with remaining marinade and toss.
Add chicken to the sheet pan, nestling among the vegetables. Bake for 30 minutes.
Add olives and feta, bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until vegetables are tender and chicken reaches 165°F.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
