  3. In a large mixing bowl, add chicken thighs and pour remaining marinade over them. Toss to coat and let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Chop zucchini, bell pepper, onion, and tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Combine with reserved marinade and toss to coat.
  5. Transfer marinated vegetables onto the prepared baking sheet and nestle marinated chicken among them.
  6. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes until chicken skin is golden and crispy.
  7. Remove from oven, sprinkle olives and feta over chicken and vegetables, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Let the dish rest for a few minutes and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
