Sheet Pan Lemon Garlic Chicken

Ingredients

For the Sheet Pan

• 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
• 2 carrots, cut into thick pieces
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 lemon, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Lemon Garlic Seasoning

• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For Serving

• Chopped parsley

Substitutions

• Replace fresh herbs with about one-third as much dried herb, except when the fresh herb is a garnish or salad component.

Instructions

Step 2: Start the vegetables

Toss potatoes and carrots with 1 tablespoon oil and half the seasoning. Roast 15 minutes.

Step 4: Roast

Turn the vegetables, add chicken skin-side up and lemon slices, and roast 20 minutes.

Step 5: Add broccoli

Add broccoli and roast 10 to 15 minutes more, until chicken reaches 175°F and vegetables are tender. Garnish with parsley.

Why the Vegetables Go In at Different Times

Potatoes and carrots need the 15-minute head start because they take longer than broccoli. Adding everything at once would either leave the potatoes firm or overcook the broccoli.

Place the chicken skin-side up and keep the lemon slices around, not over, most of the skin so the surface can brown while still picking up lemon aroma.

How to Store Leftovers

Place leftover Sheet Pan Lemon Garlic Chicken in a shallow, covered container and refrigerate within 2 hours; plan to use it within 3 to 4 days. Keep chopped parsley separate and add it after reheating.

How to Reheat

Reheat the chicken, potatoes, and carrots on a sheet pan at 350°F until hot. Add the broccoli later in the reheating time so it does not become overly soft.

Finish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon after heating to bring back the bright flavor.

What to Serve With It

• Rice or potatoes
