SHEET PAN DINNER! Crispy, juicy chicken thighs with tender baby potatoes and crisped kale. So hearty, so good, so easy!
Ingredients
- 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 ½ pounds pee wee potatoes, about 1/2 inch size
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 1 bunch kale, stems removed and leaves torn into bite-sized pieces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
- Season chicken thighs with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Place chicken in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, combine potatoes, garlic, thyme, rosemary, lemon and 2 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Place potato mixture in a single layer around the chicken on the prepared baking sheet.
- Place into oven and bake until the chicken is almost cooked through and the potatoes are almost tender, about 25-30 minutes.
- In a large bowl, massage kale with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Remove sheet pan from oven; stir potatoes and add kale. Place into oven and continue to roast for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the kale has crisped. Let stand 5 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
