Sheet Pan Chicken and Potatoes is a one-pan meal that combines juicy, seasoned chicken with crispy roasted potatoes and optional vegetables for an easy, flavorful dinner with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or breasts)
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
  • Optional add-ins: 1 cup baby carrots, 1 red onion sliced, or 1 bell pepper sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a large bowl, toss potatoes (and any optional vegetables) with half of the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  3. Rub chicken thighs with remaining olive oil and season on both sides with the same spices.
  4. Arrange chicken and potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F/74°C) and potatoes are golden and tender.
  6. Optional: broil for the last 2–3 minutes for extra crispiness.
  7. Drizzle with lemon juice and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use chicken breasts if preferred, but reduce baking time to avoid drying out.
  • Cut vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking.
  • Customize seasoning with rosemary, Italian seasoning, or chili flakes for variety.
