Description

A festive, one-pan dinner featuring juicy chicken thighs and caramelized winter vegetables, perfect for holiday gatherings or a cozy family meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 46 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 large carrots, sliced
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  2. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, pepper, and half the minced garlic. Set aside.
  3. Wash and halve baby potatoes, peel and slice carrots, and halve Brussels sprouts. Toss all the veggies with olive oil, remaining garlic, salt, and pepper.
  4. Spread seasoned veggies on the sheet pan, leaving space for the chicken thighs. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on the pan.
  5. Scatter rosemary and thyme sprigs over the chicken and veggies. Add lemon slices on the chicken and around the pan.
  6. Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 35-40 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and veggies are caramelized.
  7. Turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes to crisp up the chicken skin and give the veggies a slight char.
  8. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve directly from the sheet pan or plate food for a polished look.

Notes

You can customize vegetables based on seasonal availability. Try adding different proteins or herbs for variety.
