This One Pan Chicken and Potatoes recipe offers a simple, flavorful dish perfect for a weeknight dinner. Tender chicken thighs and drumsticks are roasted alongside golden potatoes in a zesty sauce of garlic, lemon, tomato paste, and herbs, creating a deliciously easy all-in-one meal with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 2 lb chicken thighs and drumsticks

For the Potatoes:

  • 22 oz potatoes (chopped if large)

For the Sauce:

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 Tbsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika

For Garnish:

  • Fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the chicken and potatoes evenly.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, tomato paste, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, oregano, black pepper, and paprika until fully combined and aromatic.
  3. Prepare the Chicken and Potatoes: Pat dry the chicken pieces and potatoes with paper towels. Chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces if needed. Arrange both chicken and potatoes evenly on a sheet pan for roasting.
  4. Coat with Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce generously over the chicken and potatoes. Use a spoon or your hands to ensure all pieces are thoroughly coated to infuse flavor during baking.
  5. Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) ensuring it is cooked through.
  6. Rest and Garnish: Remove the pan from the oven and let the chicken and potatoes rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top before serving to add a pop of color and fresh flavor.

Notes

  • Use a food thermometer to ensure that the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Cool leftovers completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they will keep for 3-4 days.
