Description
One Pan Chicken and Potatoes is a simple and flavorful dish where tender, perfectly seasoned chicken is roasted alongside golden, crispy baby potatoes. The combination of garlic, rosemary (or thyme), and olive oil brings rich, aromatic flavors, making it a comforting, easy meal with minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or chicken breasts)
- 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes (or regular potatoes, cut into chunks)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or thyme)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 lemon, sliced (optional, for garnish)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Toss the baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, pepper, and half of the minced garlic. Spread the potatoes evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Season the chicken thighs with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, dried rosemary (or thyme), paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the seasoning into the chicken to coat evenly.
- Place the seasoned chicken thighs on the baking sheet with the potatoes, leaving space between the chicken and potatoes for even cooking.
- Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, until the chicken is golden and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). The potatoes should be tender and lightly browned.
- In the last 10 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the remaining garlic over the chicken and potatoes. Optional: add lemon slices to the pan for the last 10 minutes of cooking.
- Once done, remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
Add extra vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or onions to the pan for added flavor.For a spicier version, swap paprika with smoked paprika or add a pinch of cayenne.To make this dish dairy-free, it’s naturally suitable as no dairy is required.If using chicken breasts, reduce the cooking time to about 25-30 minutes as they cook faster than thighs.Leftovers can be stored for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes to retain texture.
