A quick and easy one-pan meal featuring crispy lemon garlic chicken thighs roasted with tender potatoes and fresh green beans, perfect for busy weeknights and cozy dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds / 900g)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved (Yukon Gold or red potatoes)
  • 8 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano, salt (about 1 teaspoon), and freshly ground black pepper (about ½ teaspoon). Toss the chicken thighs in this mixture until well coated. Let sit while prepping veggies or marinate for 15-30 minutes for extra flavor.
  3. Halve the baby potatoes and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly. Spread them out for proper roasting.
  4. Nestle the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up among the potatoes, ensuring the skin isn’t touching the pan directly.
  5. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
  6. Toss the trimmed green beans with a pinch of salt and pepper, then scatter them around the chicken and potatoes. Return the pan to the oven.
  7. Roast for another 15-20 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), potatoes are tender, and green beans are bright and slightly blistered.
  8. Check for doneness by ensuring juices run clear and potatoes are fork-tender but hold shape.
  9. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken thighs dry before marinating to ensure crispy skin. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Add green beans later in cooking to keep them tender-crisp. Tent pan with foil if garlic browns too quickly. Use a meat thermometer to check chicken doneness. Oven reheating recommended to maintain crispy skin on leftovers.
