Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (200°C). While the oven is heating up, take a moment to appreciate the time you’re dedicating to nurturing yourself and your family.
  2. Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash and cube the yellow potatoes, slice the red and green peppers, and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves for that rich, savory aroma that sets the tone for the entire dish.
  3. Season the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl. Drizzle with avocado oil and sprinkle the smoked paprika, adobo seasoning, lemon pepper, pink sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper over the chicken. Massage the seasonings into the chicken thighs, ensuring every piece is well-coated.
  4. Assemble in the Pan: Grab a large baking dish or sheet pan. Spread the cubed potatoes, sliced peppers, and onions evenly across the pan. Add the minced garlic over the vegetables. Place the seasoned chicken thighs on top of the vegetables. Dot the pan with slices of raw butter for a rich flavor that will melt over the chicken and veggies as they cook.
  5. Add the Finishing Touch: Arrange the lemon slices over the chicken thighs and vegetables. This will not only infuse the dish with a lovely citrus aroma but also add a touch of brightness to each bite.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, give the veggies a little stir to ensure they cook evenly and absorb all the delicious flavors. If you’re adding green beans, broccoli, or asparagus, toss them into the pan about 15 minutes before the end of the cooking time to keep them tender-crisp.
  7. Check for Doneness: The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear. The potatoes should be golden and tender, and the veggies should be slightly caramelized around the edges.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the pan from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to settle and makes for an even more delicious meal. Serve the chicken thighs with a side of the roasted potatoes and veggies, garnished with an extra squeeze of lemon juice if desired.

This one-pan baked chicken thighs and potatoes dish is not just a meal; it’s the words of a love letter in every bite!
