Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and set them aside on a plate.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
Rub 1 tablespoon of olive oil all over the chicken thighs, then sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the chicken, pressing it in to ensure it adheres.
In a large oven-safe skillet or cast-iron pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the pan. Sear for 3-4 minutes or until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip the chicken thighs and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the baby potatoes, carrots, and brussels sprouts. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the lemon juice, then toss to coat. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Nestle the seared chicken thighs back into the skillet on top of the vegetables, skin-side up. Ensure the chicken is not submerged in the vegetables so the skin can stay crispy.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your pan-roasted chicken and veggies!
