There is nothing better after a long day than a dinner that comes together in just one pan. I love this recipe because the chicken stays so juicy while the potatoes and carrots soak up all the savory juices from the pan.

My secret for the best results is to cut your potatoes into uniform pieces. This ensures they all finish cooking at the same time so you get a perfect bite every single time.

🧺 Ingredients

4 chicken thighs, bone in and skin on
1 pound baby potatoes, halved
2 large carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds
1 large yellow onion, cut into wedges
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
In a large bowl, toss the potatoes, carrots, and onions with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
3
Spread the vegetable mixture out onto a large rimmed baking sheet.
4
Place the chicken thighs on top of the vegetables, skin side up.
5
Roast in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
6
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to keep all the juices inside.

💡 Tips

You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, pop the leftovers back in the oven at 350 degrees until warmed through. If you like extra crispy skin, you can turn the broiler on for the final two minutes of cooking.
