Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1 lb asparagus, trimmed
  • 2-3 fresh lemons
  • 6-8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry and combine them with the halved potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  3. Spread the mixture on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer and tuck lemon slices among the chicken.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes.
  5. Add the trimmed asparagus to the pan and drizzle with olive oil, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  6. Return to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are fork-tender.
  7. Let rest for 5 minutes, squeeze lemon juice over the dish, garnish with parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

Ensure not to overcrowd the pan for even cooking. Pat chicken dry for better browning. Use seasonal vegetables for best results.
