Ratatouille Chicken Thighs with Balsamic
I wanted to made Ratatouille Chicken Thighs from Cuisine At Home Weeknight Menus, but had no eggplants. So, this is original recipe with my exceptions and update without. I served it with plain couscous. Really great chicken skin and tasty veggie.

Balsamic-Thyme Oil:
3 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. fresh thyme, chopped
2 tbsp. garlic, minced
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
4 Roma tomatoes, quartered lengthwise
1 medium zucchini, cut 1’’ thick chunks
1 medium onion, cut 2’’ thick chunks
1 medium yellow pepper, cut 1’’ thick chunks
1 small eggplant, cut 1’’ thick chunks
Salt and pepper
8 chicken thighs, bone-in
Top with: goat cheese, crumbled
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil; coat with nonstick spray.
Whisk all ingredients for the Balsamic-Thyme Oil together in a small bowl; set aside.
Combine vegetables in a large bowl and toss with 3 T. Balsamic-Thyme Oil. Arrange vegetables on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
Toss chicken with the remaining Balsamic-Thyme Oil and place on the other end of the baking sheet. Season everything with salt and pepper. Roast 45-60 minutes.
Top vegetables with goat cheese. Serve immediately.
Update from 10/10/11 with eggplants, mini sweet peppers, zucchini, red onions and skin-less chicken thighs.
