Description
A one-pan comfort meal featuring juicy, roasted chicken thighs and golden potatoes caramelized with red onion, garlic, and rosemary—simple, flavorful, and perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 1/2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into chunks
- 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
- 6 garlic cloves, smashed
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 2 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment or foil for easy cleanup.
- Pat chicken thighs dry. In a bowl, toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp rosemary, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- In another bowl, toss potatoes, red onion, and garlic with remaining olive oil, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Spread veggies evenly on sheet pan. Nestle chicken thighs on top.
- Roast for 35–45 minutes, flipping potatoes halfway through if desired. Chicken should be golden, veggies caramelized, and potatoes tender.
- Rest briefly, then serve with lemon wedges and optional herbs or grated Parmesan.
Notes
- Substitute chicken breasts if desired; reduce cook time and watch for doneness after 25–30 minutes.
- For extra heat, add red pepper flakes or smoked hot paprika.
- Additional veggies like carrots, peppers, or Brussels sprouts can be included—cut to match potato size for even roasting.
- To clean easily, line pan with foil or parchment, but roasting directly yields extra browning.
