Hi Lisa! Good question! The chicken will cook a bit faster, but the vegetables need that time to get tender. Since the thighs have a bit more fat, they can sustain the longer cooking time. I’d leave the dish covered with foil 10 additional minutes and shorten the uncovered cooking time by 5 minutes or so. You can also remove the thighs and return the dish to the oven and broil for a few minutes to get the vegetables tender and slightly charred – yum!

YES! Amen, amen! 🙂

You’re right – we can’t win them all! But modeling for kids what a healthy and balanced diet is…priceless! 🙂 My kids LOVE seafood, too. I wish our daycare provided meals (in some ways…) but the teachers are always commenting on the “real” food she gobbles down. I’m often asked, “What WAS that? It smelled awesome!” 🙂
