Sheet Pan Lemon Thyme Chicken, Potatoes and Green Beans is all the comforts of a roasted chicken dinner made in one pan in a fraction of the time! FlavortheMoment

We’ve got some major comfort food up in here today!  If I sound happy about it, it’s because I am.  I’m not dreading the end of summer any longer and have my sights set on soups, chili, and all things comfort food.

You saw the Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes that I posted on Monday didn’t you?

Yaaasss….major comfort food.

One of my favorite forms of comfort food is roasted chicken.  I love making it for Sunday dinner with the aforementioned mashed potatoes and it’s the perfect soul warming dinner.  The men in my house get their meat and potatoes which makes them perfectly content.

These Sheet Pan Chicken Thighs have everything a good roast chicken Sunday dinner has minus the effort.

And minus the dishes!

Normally I don’t use chicken thighs, but for whatever reason I grabbed some at the store and decided to use them in a sheet pan meal instead of salmon or chicken breast.

It was one of the best decisions ever. 🙂

I purchased skin-on chicken because the men in my house love it and it keeps the chicken thighs nice and juicy.  The chicken skin created some amazing pan drippings that the potatoes and green beans were coated in, and I swear it tasted just as good as the roasted chicken Sunday dinners that I slave over.

Suffice it to say, nobody in my house turned up their nose at dinner that night.

I’m over the moon about these sheet pan chicken thighs and potatoes, and love that I can customize it with whatever is in season.  Sweet potatoes, butternut squash, broccoli…you name it!

This is the easiest way to get your comfort food fix during the week, with only one pan to wash!

This is how you win at dinner time. 🙂

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice 1 large juicy lemon
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs about 3 lbs.; trimmed of excess fat as necessary
  • 1.5 lbs. baby potatoes halved
  • 12 ounces green beans trimmed; halved if desired

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dijon, thyme, salt and pepper in a small bowl and whisk until well incorporated.
  • Place the potatoes and green beans on a large rimmed sheet pan and toss with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil mixture until well coated.
  • Brush the chicken thighs with the remaining olive oil mixture (or toss together in a bowl), and place the chicken thighs on the baking sheet.
  • Roast for 25-35 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 175 degrees.  Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Pro tip: You may marinate the chicken in the olive oil mixture for a few hours or overnight for even more flavor.  Simply the toss the potatoes and green beans in the remaining marinade and toss everything onto the sheet pan and roast.
  • If the skin has not crisped up entirely, consider removing the potatoes and green beans from the pan and place the chicken thighs under the broiler for 1-2 minutes or until crispy. 
  • Use skinless chicken thighs as desired.  If using boneless, the cooking time will be shorter, so be sure to check for doneness after 20 minutes.
  • Store lemon garlic chicken thighs and potatoes in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
