Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Olive Oil
  • 1 1/2 Tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 Tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 Tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 Tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1/2 Tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 Tbsp Lemon Zest
  • 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 4-6 Chicken Thighs (bone-in, skin-on) seasoned with salt, pepper, and paprika
  • 1 1/2 LBS Yukon Gold Potatoes, diced into 1” cubes
  • 2 Cups Broccoli Florets

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    In a medium bowl, combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Whisk until well combined.
  • In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with 1/3 of the oil mixture until well coated in the seasoning. Spread the potatoes out onto the baking sheet (make sure to spread them apart so they cook evenly). Roast for 20-25 minutes until they are golden and starting to crisp up.
  • While the potatoes are roasting, add a little olive oil to a large skillet over high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear on both sides until the skin is crispy and the chicken has a jumpstart cooking. You don’t want to cook the chicken all of the way through, only get a good sear.
  • To the same bowl that you seasoned the potatoes, add the broccoli and half of the remaining oil mixture. Toss the broccoli until well coated.
  • When the potatoes have roasted for 20-25 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Flip the potatoes with a spatula and add the broccoli to the sheet pan. Then nestle the chicken thighs onto the pan as well (skin side up). Brush on the remaining oil mixture.
  • Place the sheet pan back into the oven and roast for another 20-25 minutes until the broccoli and potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through (cooked to 165 degrees). Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
