Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare all vegetables: halve the baby potatoes, chop carrots, cut broccoli into florets, and dice the red bell pepper.
In a large bowl, combine chicken thighs and all the chopped vegetables.
Drizzle with olive oil and add minced garlic, Italian herbs, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything until well coated.
Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly onto a large roasting pan or baking sheet. Place chicken thighs skin-side up and ensure space between pieces.
Roast uncovered for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temp 165°F) and the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.
Optional: squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish just before serving for added brightness.
Serve directly from the pan and enjoy hot.
Notes
For crispier skin, broil for the last 2–3 minutes.
You can swap in other vegetables like zucchini, sweet potatoes, or Brussels sprouts based on what’s in season.
Substitute chicken thighs with drumsticks or breast pieces, adjusting the cook time as needed.
This dish stores well—great for meal prep and leftovers.
A sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley before serving adds a nice touch of freshness.
