Description
One-Pan Chicken and Potatoes is the ultimate easy, flavorful dinner that’s perfect for busy weeknights. Tender, seasoned chicken and crispy roasted potatoes are all cooked together on a single pan, making cleanup a breeze while delivering a deliciously satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or breasts)
- 1 lb baby potatoes (halved or quartered)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
- Lemon wedges (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- Place the chicken thighs and potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil mixture over both the chicken and potatoes. Toss the potatoes to coat evenly in the seasoning, and rub the chicken with the seasoning.
- Arrange the chicken skin-side up and spread the potatoes around the chicken in a single layer.
- Roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes are golden brown and tender.
- If desired, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to get the chicken skin extra crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for a burst of freshness.
Notes
- If using chicken breasts, they may cook faster than thighs, so check their internal temperature after 30 minutes.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or Brussels sprouts for a complete meal.
- To get crispy chicken skin, pat the chicken dry before seasoning and broil for a few minutes at the end of the roasting time.
- For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken for 30 minutes to a few hours before cooking.
- If your potatoes are large, consider parboiling them for a few minutes to avoid overcooking.
