Description

A festive sheet pan dinner combining roasted chicken thighs and seasonal vegetables, perfect for holiday celebrations or cozy weeknights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 2 cups potatoes, chopped
  • 2 cups carrots, chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 2 sprigs thyme
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Pat chicken thighs dry, season with salt, pepper, and half of the minced garlic.
  3. Wash and chop vegetables into uniform pieces, toss with olive oil, remaining garlic, salt, and pepper.
  4. Spread vegetables on the pan, leaving space for the chicken. Place chicken skin-side up on the pan.
  5. Scatter rosemary and thyme around the chicken, and add lemon slices on top.
  6. Roast for 35-40 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and vegetables are tender.
  7. Turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes to crisp the chicken skin.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes
