Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 lb small potatoes (e.g., creamer or baby), quartered
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs, potatoes, broccoli, red bell pepper, and red onion.

  3. Step 3

    Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Sprinkle in the dried oregano, dried thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything well to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.

  4. Step 4

    Spread the chicken and vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding, as this will steam rather than roast the vegetables. Use two baking sheets if necessary.

  5. Step 5

    Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Halfway through cooking, give everything a good stir to ensure even browning.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately as a complete meal. A sprinkle of fresh parsley or a squeeze of extra lemon juice would be a lovely finish.

Tips

  • Adjust the vegetables to your liking! Zucchini, carrots, or Brussels sprouts would also be delicious.
  • For crispier chicken, pat the chicken thighs very dry with paper towels before tossing with the oil and seasonings.
