Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on (or boneless breasts)
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into thick strips
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 lemon, half sliced into rounds and half juiced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preparation Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for the easiest cleanup. Wash and chop your potatoes, bell peppers, and asparagus. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; this ensures the skin gets extra crispy during the roasting process.
  2. Step 2: Seasoning the Ingredients Place the chicken and potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, and smoked paprika. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Toss everything together until the chicken and potatoes are evenly coated in the herb oil. Save the asparagus and bell peppers for later, as they cook faster than the potatoes.
  3. Step 3: Roasting the Base Spread the chicken and potatoes across the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Arrange the lemon slices around the chicken. Place the pan in the oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes. The potatoes should start to soften, and the chicken skin should begin to turn golden brown.
  4. Step 4: Adding the Greens Remove the pan from the oven. Toss the asparagus and bell peppers with a little oil and salt, then scatter them in the empty spaces on the baking sheet. Return the pan to the oven for another 10 to 12 minutes. Bake until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Step 5: Plating Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let the meat rest for 5 minutes. This keeps the chicken juicy. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for a pop of color and freshness. Serve directly from the pan or transfer to a platter, making sure to drizzle any remaining pan juices over the chicken.
