Ingredients
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1½ lbs baby potatoes, halved
1 cup fresh green beans, trimmed
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 lemon, sliced
½ cup chicken broth
Fresh thyme or parsley, for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or roasting pan.
2. Season the Chicken
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful herb marinade.
3. Arrange the Ingredients
Spread the halved baby potatoes evenly in the baking dish. Place the chicken thighs on top and rub the seasoning mixture generously over both the chicken and potatoes.
4. Add the Broth & Vegetables
Pour the chicken broth around the edges of the dish to help keep everything tender and juicy while roasting. Add the lemon slices and scatter the green beans around the chicken.
5. Roast to Perfection
Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until the chicken skin is crispy and golden brown and the potatoes are fork-tender. For extra crispiness, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
6. Serve & Enjoy
Spoon the savory pan juices over the chicken and vegetables before serving. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley for a fresh finishing touch.
