Ingredients

For the Chicken & Marinade

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or breasts)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or ½ tsp dried)
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried)
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Vegetables

  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Optional Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Step-by-Step Directions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet or roasting pan with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Marinate the Chicken:
    In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken pieces and coat thoroughly. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the fridge for deeper flavor).
  3. Prepare the Vegetables:
    In another bowl, toss potatoes, mushrooms, and onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  4. Assemble the Pan:
    Spread the veggies evenly on the baking sheet. Nestle the marinated chicken pieces on top, skin side up, making sure everything is in a single layer.
  5. Roast to Golden Perfection:
    Roast for 35–40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (165°F internal temperature) and the potatoes are tender and crisp at the edges.
  6. Optional Crisp Finish:
    For extra-crispy skin, switch to broil for the last 2–3 minutes. Keep a close eye to avoid burning. 🔥
  7. Garnish & Serve:
    Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges for brightness. Pair with a simple salad or crusty bread for a full, satisfying meal. 🍋🌿
