Make the Marinade
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper; whisk until well combined.
Place the chicken thighs and half of the marinade in a ziploc bag; close the bag and set aside for 20 to 30 minutes or in the fridge for several hours.
Cook the Chicken and Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 425˚F.
In a large nonstick skillet heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the ziploc bag and discard the bag with the marinade.
Transfer the chicken to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.
Remove the skillet from the heat and arrange the potatoes, bell peppers, and onions around the chicken thighs; season with salt and fresh ground pepper.
Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken and veggies; gently stir to combine.
Cover and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Remove the cover and continue to bake for 5 to 7 minutes or until the potatoes and chicken are golden in color.
Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
Transfer to serving plates, garnish with lemon wedges, and serve.
