Ingredients
For the Lemon Herb Chicken
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
For the Vegetables
- 1½ lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 4 large carrots, cut into thick pieces
- 1 small onion, peeled and halved
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions
Step 1: Season the Chicken
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine:
- Olive oil
- Minced garlic
- Oregano
- Parsley
- Thyme
- Paprika
- Salt
- Black pepper
Rub the herb mixture all over the chicken thighs, making sure they are evenly coated.
Step 2: Prepare the Vegetables
Place the potatoes, carrots, and onion in a large roasting pan or baking dish.
Drizzle with a little olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Step 3: Assemble the Dish
Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs on top of the vegetables.
Scatter the lemon slices throughout the pan and pour the chicken broth around the vegetables.
The broth keeps the vegetables tender while creating delicious pan juices.
Step 4: Roast Until Golden
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until:
- The chicken skin is golden brown and crispy.
- The internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- The potatoes and carrots are fork-tender.
For extra-crispy skin, broil for the final 2–3 minutes.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Spoon the flavorful pan juices over the chicken and vegetables and garnish with extra parsley if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy.
Tips for the Best Roasted Chicken Dinner
