Description
A simple and delicious recipe for Lemon Herb Sheet Pan Chicken, featuring marinated chicken thighs, baby potatoes, and green beans, all roasted to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 1 cup green beans, trimmed
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
- Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor).
- In another bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on one side of the prepared baking sheet and the seasoned potatoes on the other side.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, add the green beans to the baking sheet and toss everything gently to combine.
- Return to the oven and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the potatoes are tender.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Substitute the green beans with asparagus or broccoli for a different vegetable option.
