Total Time:1 hour
Yield:6 servings
Ingredients
6 bone-in chicken thighs
300g mushrooms, halved
500g baby potatoes, halved
1 large red onion, cut into wedges
4 garlic cloves, unpeeled
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Juice of 1 lemon
Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Place the potatoes, mushrooms, onion wedges, and garlic into a large roasting tray.
Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Add rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Arrange the chicken thighs on top of the vegetables.
Drizzle lemon juice over everything.
Roast for 40-45 minutes until the chicken is golden and fully cooked.
Stir the vegetables halfway through cooking.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Chicken breasts can be used instead of thighs but may require less cooking time.
Cremini mushrooms provide the richest flavor.
Add carrots, bell peppers, or zucchini for extra vegetables.
For crispier chicken skin, place the tray under the broiler for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
