Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1 medium red onion, peeled and roughly chopped
- 8 large red potatoes, quartered
- 1-pint cherry (or grape) tomatoes, whole
- 1 t. dried basil
- 1 t. dried oregano

Instructions
Directions:
- Pre-heat the oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed, baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat® baking mat. Set aside.
- Combine red onion, potatoes, and tomatoes in a large glass bowl and sprinkle with the dried herbs. Drizzle with two tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Toss to coat and spread into a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Season with additional salt and black pepper, if desired, and turn to coat.
