Description

A foolproof one-pan roast featuring chicken thighs, caramelized baby potatoes, sweet carrots, and charred Brussels sprouts, seasoned simply for a crowd-pleasing holiday centerpiece.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in chicken thighs
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 2 cups carrots, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, pepper, and half the minced garlic. Set aside.
  3. Wash and halve the baby potatoes, peel and slice the carrots, and halve the Brussels sprouts. Toss all the veggies with olive oil, remaining garlic, salt, and pepper.
  4. Spread the seasoned veggies on the sheet pan, leaving space for the chicken thighs. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on the pan.
  5. Scatter rosemary and thyme sprigs over the chicken and veggies. Add lemon slices on the chicken and around the pan.
  6. Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the veggies are tender and caramelized.
  7. Turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes to crisp up the chicken skin and give the veggies a slight char. Monitor to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve directly from the sheet pan or plate the food for a more polished look.
