5-Ingredient Roasted Lemon Chicken & Vegetables
This lemony baked chicken thigh recipe has only 5 ingredients and comes with a side of veggies that roast alongside the chicken for a complete weeknight dinner. Bone-in skinless chicken breast cut in half can be used instead of the thighs, if you prefer.
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs, such as oregano or thyme, divided
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper, divided
- 5 cups cubed root vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots and/or turnips
- 1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch-thick wedges
- 4 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs ( 1 1/2- 2 pounds)
- 1 lemon, cut into 8 wedges
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. Combine 2 tablespoons herbs, 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add root vegetables and onion; toss to coat. Spread on a large rimmed baking sheet.
3. Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons herbs, 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in the same bowl. Add chicken; toss to coat. Place the chicken on top of the vegetables and tuck 4 lemon wedges in.
4. Roast, stirring the vegetables twice, until the vegetables are tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken without touching bone registers 165°F, about 30 minutes.
Discard the roasted lemon wedges. Squeeze the remaining 4 lemon wedges over the chicken.
