Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Peel, then cut potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Cut zucchini into 1/4-inch rounds. Strip 1 tbsp thyme leaves (dbl for 4 ppl) from stems. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with thyme and half the Italian Seasoning. Season with salt and pepper.
Add potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered until fork-tender, 10-12 min.
Meanwhile, add zucchini, remaining Italian Seasoning and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to one side of an unlined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.

Transfer chicken to the baking sheet with zucchini.Roast in the middle of the oven until chicken is cooked through, 8-10 min.**
Meanwhile, heat the same pan over medium. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 3-4 min. Add 1 tsp sugar (dbl for 4 ppl). Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are dark golden-brown, 2-3 min.

- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to prepare, though stripping fresh thyme leaves was time-consuming for some.
- Suggestions: Consider adding milk or cream to the mashed potatoes for creamier texture; roast garlic for extra flavor.

- Texture: Some found the zucchini mushy when roasted; try cutting into cubes or cooking for less time.
