Ingredients

• 2 or 3 sprigs of thyme for vegetables

Preparation

Step 1 : Vegetables

• Roughly chop your vegetables and onion then place in a bowl.
• Add the Tunisian olive oil.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper, and add the thyme.
• Add the cajun spices.
• Mix well and arrange your vegetables on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.

Step 2 : Chicken

• Put the chicken in a large bowl.
• Pour the Sauce du Jardin and mix with the chicken.
• Arrange the chicken on top of the vegetables and bake at 425°F for 45 minutes, turning the thighs over halfway through cooking.

Suggestion

A full-bodied red wine from the Languedoc region will do nicely, and I personally pair it with a Costière de Nîmes.
