Easy sheet pan chicken and potatoes recipe for a flavorful, family-friendly dinner ready in under an hour.
1 pound yellow potatoes, quartered (peeled if preferred)
6 to 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh herb mix (such as rosemary, sage, and thyme), about 1 small package
Preheat your oven to 400°F and place the rack in the middle position.
Prepare a large rimmed baking sheet by greasing it or lining with foil.
Add the quartered potatoes and chicken thighs to the baking sheet.
Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the chicken and potatoes. Use your hands to thoroughly coat everything.
Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper evenly over the chicken and potatoes. Toss everything again to ensure even coverage.
Distribute the fresh herbs around and on top of the chicken and potatoes.
Roast in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is fully cooked.
Optional: Turn on the broiler for a few minutes at the end to crisp the chicken skin and potatoes to your liking.
