Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs (680g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1.5-inch pieces
• 1 lb (450g) baby potatoes, halved or quartered
• 1 lb (450g) broccoli florets
• 1 red bell pepper, cored and chopped into 1-inch pieces
• 1 red onion, cut into wedges
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp dried oregano
• 1 tbsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• Zest of 1 lemon
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a large bowl, combine chicken pieces, halved potatoes, broccoli florets, chopped red bell pepper, and red onion wedges.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the lemon zest and lemon juice to the mixture.
4. Pour the lemon herb mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
5. Spread the chicken and vegetables in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Ensure there’s enough space for even cooking.
6. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C) and vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
7. For extra crispiness, you can broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
8. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
9. Serve immediately. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
