Hello loves,
For #EasyMondays this week, I came up with a simple and delicious sheet pan recipe! I think sheet pan dinners are my jam so be expecting several more in the coming months! One pan that you put in the oven and done. Fin! Cleanup is a breeze.
I love a good crispy skinned chicken thigh, it’s my favorite favorite piece of a chicken. The meat is juicy and stays moist and that crispy skin feels more sinful than it is. Like eating fried chicken without the guilt. Kind of….
This garlicky herb roasted sheet pan chicken & veggies will probably become a weeknight staple for you like it has for us! Feel free to use whatever veggies you have on hand as herbs and garlic go with pretty much anything! Just keep in mind some veggies cook quicker. If you want to do green beans, scatter those on right before you do the broiling at the end. They don’t take long!
Garlicky Herb Roasted Sheet Pan Chicken and Veggies
Garlicky Herb Roasted Sheet Pan Chicken and Veggies
Ingredients
- 6 bone in, skin on chicken thighs
- 1 cup olive oil
- 4 large cloves garlic, minced
- zest of 1 lemon
- 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt, if using regular table salt, use less
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 3 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 3 medium russet potatoes, diced
- 4 carrots, peeled and cut into strips
- 1 medium red onion, quartered
- 6 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425° and spray a sheet pan with olive oil.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Whisk to combine. Pour 3/4 of it into a large ziplock bag and add your chicken thighs. Close bag, give it a shake and let marinate while you prep veggies. You can marinate it longer of course by prepping ahead of time but you don't have to.
- Dice the potatoes, cut carrots into strips and peel and quarter the onion. Put in a bowl and toss with remaining olive oil mixture.
- Take the chicken out of the bag, letting the excess olive oil drip off before placing on sheet pan. (I like to use a slotted spoon or even a fork to get any of the garlic and herbs that are left in the bag to place on the chicken.) Using a slotted spoon, place the veggies around the chicken, dispersing evenly. Try not to let the veggies stack on top of each other too much because we want them to get a good crisp. Top each piece of chicken with a tbsp of butter
- Bake for 45-55 minutes until internal temp of chicken reaches 165° and is golden brown. I shake the pan about halfway through to move the veggies around. Turn the broiler on for 3-4 minutes at the end to get the tops nice and brown and crispy.
