Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 lb baby potatoes, quartered
- 1 head broccoli, cut into florets (about 3 cups)
- 1 large lemon, half juiced, half thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the quartered baby potatoes, broccoli florets, and chicken thighs.
- Step 3: Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle with garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper. Squeeze the juice from half of the lemon over everything and toss well to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
- Step 4: Spread the seasoned chicken and vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the thin slices from the remaining half lemon over the top.
- Step 5: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the vegetables are tender-crisp. If desired, broil for the last 2-3 minutes for extra browning, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Step 6: Carefully remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving directly from the pan.
Notes
- Keep any delightful leftovers fresh for up to 3-4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator – perfect for a quick lunch!
- For best results, gently reheat portions in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or in an air fryer to help revive that tender-crisp texture.
- While delicious on its own, a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a side of creamy Greek yogurt can add an extra layer of freshness and tang to this already vibrant meal.
- For truly golden and tender-crisp results, avoid overcrowding your baking sheet; giving each piece a little space ensures they roast beautifully rather than steam, enhancing all those wonderful textures.
