Description

A delicious one-pan meal featuring juicy chicken thighs roasted with baby red potatoes, carrots, Brussels sprouts, and flavored with garlic and herbs.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 chicken thighs (about 2 pounds, bone-in, skin on)
  • 1 pound baby red potatoes (sliced in half)
  • 1 medium red onion (quartered)
  • 8 ounces carrots (peeled and cut into chunks)
  • 4 large garlic cloves (minced)
  • ½ medium lemon (juiced)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or use ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 12 ounces Brussels sprouts (trimmed and sliced in half)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Fresh thyme for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), or 180°C if using a fan oven.
  2. Combine the potatoes, onion, carrots, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, thyme, and olive oil in a large bowl and toss until coated.
  3. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and turn them until the seasoning mixture covers the skin and the undersides.
  4. Spread everything in a 9 x 13 inch (23 x 33 cm) or 10 x 14 inch (25 x 36 cm) roasting pan with the chicken placed between the vegetables with the skin facing up.
  5. Cover the pan tightly with foil and place it in the oven for 30 minutes.
  6. Stir the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika in a separate bowl.
  7. Remove the foil from the pan and place the Brussels sprouts on top of the vegetables.
  8. Return the pan to the oven and roast for 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  9. If you want the chicken skin more crisp, place the pan under the broiler for one to two minutes and watch closely so the Brussels sprouts do not darken too much.
  10. Garnish with fresh thyme and serve.
