  • Diet: Gluten-Free

Description

A one-pan feast featuring juicy, herb-roasted chicken and caramelized winter vegetables, perfect for festive gatherings or cozy meals.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 lemon, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry, season with salt, pepper, and half the minced garlic, then set aside.
  3. Toss the potatoes, carrots, and Brussels sprouts with olive oil, the remaining garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  4. Spread the veggies on the sheet pan, leaving space for the chicken. Place the chicken on top, skin-side up.
  5. Scatter rosemary and thyme over both chicken and vegetables and add lemon slices for extra flavor.
  6. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and veggies are tender.
  7. Broil for the last 2-3 minutes to crisp up the chicken skin.
  8. Remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, then serve directly from the pan or plate.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, replace chicken with marinated tempeh or cauliflower steaks. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
