Ingredients
•
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
•
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
•
8 ounces prepared zhoug sauce, divided
•
1 (12 ounce) jar fire-roasted red and yellow bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with olive oil.
2
Measure 1/2 cup of prepared zhoug and spread over the bottom of the oiled baking dish. Place chicken thighs, cut side down, on top of the zhoug. Sprinkle fire-roasted bell peppers over chicken thighs. Using a spoon, drop remaining zhoug sauce in between the bell pepper pieces, covering as much of the chicken thighs as possible.
