A quick and easy one-pan dinner featuring crispy garlic Parmesan chicken thighs roasted alongside tender vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 whole garlic cloves
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced on the bias
  • 1 cup green beans, trimmed
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or mix of oregano, thyme, rosemary)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: lemon zest for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and half the Italian seasoning.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the baby potatoes, carrots, and green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, remaining Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  4. Heat your skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil. Once shimmering, place chicken thighs skin-side down. Sear for about 5-7 minutes without moving them until deep golden-brown.
  5. Flip the chicken over and arrange the veggies evenly around the thighs in the pan.
  6. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan generously over the chicken skin and some of the vegetables. Add whole garlic cloves around the veggies for roasting.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), the cheese is golden and crispy, and the veggies are tender.
  8. Check halfway through cooking and gently stir the veggies to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
  9. Remove from oven, zest a bit of lemon over the top if desired, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken skin dry thoroughly to ensure crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming the vegetables. Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for best crisping results. If Parmesan browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil for the last 5 minutes of roasting. For dairy-free, omit Parmesan or substitute with nutritional yeast. Reheat leftovers in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes to maintain crispiness; avoid microwaving.
