Creating One Pan Chicken & Potatoes is straightforward and enjoyable. Follow these steps for a delicious meal:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
3. Mix Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Mix well.
4. Coat the Chicken: Rub the olive oil mixture all over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated.
5. Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, add halved baby potatoes. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
6. Arrange in Pan: In a large baking dish or sheet pan, place the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up. Surround them with the seasoned potatoes.
7. Add Lemon Slices: Scatter lemon slices over the chicken and potatoes for added flavor.
8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes are tender.
9. Broil (Optional): For extra crispy skin, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
