Try The Baked Chicken w/Tomatoes & Goat Cheese

@KennyPolcari 

For this you need:  Olive oil, Lemon Juice, garlic cloves - peeled,  oregano, s&p, 1 tablespoon pesto 8 bone In chicken thighs - trimmed, 2 cups sliced cherry tomatoes, goat cheese, pitted black olives

Start out by mixing the oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, oregano, s&p, and pesto in a blender and pulse until smooth. Place the thighs and marinade into a ziplock bag - shake to mix and  refrigerate overnight.
The next day  remove the thighs from the refrigerator an hour before you plan to bake them,  remove from the ziploc and discard the marinade.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees

Place the thighs on a baking sheet, and bake for 35 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the oven, and place the tomatoes and olives around the chicken.

Spoon some of the chicken juices over the chicken and tomatoes, then crumble the goat cheese on top.

Bake an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the tomatoes have softened.

Place the chicken on a platter and spoon the tomato and olive mixture on top.

Serve with a large mixed salad. 

  
Buon Appetito.
