This pan roasted chicken is really easy to prepare. You can cook it on a sheet pan, baking dish (pictured above), or oven-proof skillet. Sheet pan meals are really popular right now because they require minimal prep and everything cooks together. A sheet pan is a rimmed baking sheet that is about 1 inch deep. The rim prevents any cooking liquids from running out of the pan. Typically everything on the pan will be done cooking at the same time, but if you check at 50 minutes and the chicken is done, and the potatoes are not, you can remove the chicken and cook the veggies for about 10 more minutes until tender. The other thing I love about this recipe is that the lemon slices develop this nice, almost caramelized texture. Don’t be afraid to eat them whole, skin and all!

Ingredients

  

• 6 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 lemons 1 thinly sliced, 1 juiced
• 4 cloves garlic minced
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• ¾ pound trimmed green beans
• 8 small red potatoes quartered
• 6-8 bone-in chicken thighs, about 3-4 pounds

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a large baking dish or cast-iron skillet with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Arrange the lemon slices in a single layer in the bottom of the dish or skillet.
• In a large bowl, combine the remaining oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper; add the green beans and toss to coat. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the green beans and arrange them on top of the lemon slices.
• Add the potatoes to the same olive-oil mixture and toss to coat. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, arrange the potatoes along the inside edge of the dish or skillet on top of the green beans.
• Place the chicken in the same bowl with the olive-oil mixture and coat thoroughly. Place the chicken, skin-side up, in the dish or skillet. Pour any of the remaining olive-oil mixture over the chicken.
• Roast for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 400°F and continue to bake for an additional 40 minutes. Remove the chicken from the dish or skillet. Place the beans and potatoes back in oven for 10 minutes more, if needed, until the potatoes are tender. Serve warm.
