Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
- 4 garlic cloves
Vegetables:
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 large carrots
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 yellow onion
Seasonings and Oils:
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Dry 4 chicken thighs thoroughly with paper towels to ensure maximum crispiness. This helps the seasoning adhere and creates perfect golden skin.
- Create a fragrant seasoning blend by mixing 4 minced garlic cloves, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl.
- Massage the seasoning mixture generously over each chicken thigh, ensuring complete and even coverage for maximum flavor.
- Chop 2 cups broccoli florets, 2 large carrots, 1 red bell pepper, and 1 yellow onion into bite-sized pieces for consistent cooking.
- Toss the chopped vegetables with 2 tablespoons olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl until evenly coated.
- Arrange the seasoned vegetables in a single layer across a large baking sheet, creating an even base for the chicken.
- Position the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up on top of the vegetable layer, allowing fat to drip and enhance vegetable flavor.
- Roast at 425F for 35-40 minutes, checking that chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F and vegetables become tender and caramelized.
- Optional: Activate the broiler on high for 2-3 minutes to create extra crispy, golden-brown chicken skin.
- Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving, which helps retain moisture and redistributes internal juices.
- Garnish with fresh chopped rosemary or parsley for a bright, aromatic finish.
Notes
- Patting the chicken dry creates super crispy skin that everyone will love at the dinner table.
- Mix the spices thoroughly to ensure each bite is packed with robust flavor across the entire dish.
- Cutting vegetables into similar-sized pieces helps them cook evenly and caramelize perfectly without burning.
- For a low-carb version, swap out root vegetables like carrots and focus on low-carb options such as zucchini or cauliflower.
