Ingredients
3 medium unpeeled potatoes
1 large onion
1 red bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
6 garlic cloves
12 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
3/4 cup sun-dried tomato and oregano, Greek with feta and oregano or classic herb salad dressing
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425F (220C). Cut potatoes and onion into 1-inch (2.5-cm) wedges. Core and seed peppers, then cut into wide strips. Peel garlic, then slice cloves in half. For easy cleanup, line a large roasting pan with shallow sides or a shallow-sided baking sheet with foil. In a large bowl, toss vegetables and chicken with dressing, salt and pepper. Spread out in a single layer on pan. If vegetables are crowded, use 2 pans.
Roast, uncovered, in centre of 425F (220C) oven for 30 minutes. Stir chicken and vegetables and continue roasting, uncovered, until chicken feels springy when pressed, from 15 to 20 more minutes. Arrange on a platter and serve immediately.

Don't overlook the simplicity of roasting during the week. Nothing could be easier than mixing a few veggies with chicken in one pan, then popping it into the oven. Tossing the mixture first with your favourite bottled dressing adds a wallop of taste.
When we tested this recipe with flavourful calorie-reduced and fat-free dressings, there was not as much browning but results were still pleasing. For extra flavour when using these types of dressings, add 1 teaspoon (5 mL) dried leaf thyme or 1 tablespoon (15 mL) chopped fresh thyme.
