Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 cups red potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1.5 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced red potatoes, carrots, and broccoli florets.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables and season them with 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space for the chicken thighs.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then rub them evenly with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle each thigh with the remaining garlic powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Nestle the chicken thighs among the vegetables on the baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender and golden around the edges.
Optional: During the last 5 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken or vegetables for a cheesy finish.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Chicken Garbage Pale dish on plates or family-style directly from the baking sheet. Enjoy!
