Cilantro Chicken Thighs with Red Cabbage and Peppers

Cilantro Chicken Thighs with Red Cabbage and Peppers…could there be a better combination? I know I probably post too many cilantro recipes but I really can’t help it because it is my FAVORITE herb. I asreally love when I can throw dinner together on one pan and get stuff done while it is cooking. I have another Cilantro Chicken recipe but decided to do another second variation with the chicken thighs and then also throw a bunch of veggies in there. The roasted vegetables are also coated in the marinade so it gives the dish a well-rounded and consistent flavor. Feel free to substitute any of your favorite vegetables for roasting.

Enjoy!
