One Pan Chicken and Potatoes: An Amazing Ultimate Weeknight Meal


  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 15 minute

Ingredients

– 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or breasts)
– 1 pound baby potatoes, halved or quartered
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– 1 tablespoon paprika
– 2 teaspoons dried rosemary (or fresh)
– 1 lemon, sliced
– Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating One Pan Chicken and Potatoes is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps to achieve a delicious result:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This step ensures that your chicken will roast beautifully.

2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a crispy skin.

3. Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and rosemary. Rub this spice mixture all over the chicken, making sure to get under the skin for added flavor.

4. Toss the Potatoes: In a separate bowl, combine the baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss them until they are well coated.

5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: On a large baking sheet, place the seasoned chicken thighs in the center. Scatter the prepared potatoes around the chicken.

6. Add Lemon Slices: Place slices of lemon over the chicken and potatoes to infuse them with citrusy flavor as they roast.

7. Bake: Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes are fork-tender.

8. Broil for Extra Crispiness: For an additional crisp, turn the oven to broil for the last 5 minutes of cooking. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.

9. Rest: Once done, remove the pan from the oven and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps keep the juices locked in.

10. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy your amazing One Pan Chicken and Potatoes!
