One Pan Roasted Chicken and Vegetables Recipe
One Pan Roasted Chicken and vegetables are super easy and oh my, delicious. My family loves this chicken and veggies dish.
It may be simple but it’s delicious enough to serve to guests. The discussion at our dinner table was how we would sneak someone else’s extra crispy chicken skin without being caught.
My daughter requests the carrots from this recipe regularly. They come out so sweet and tender.
Recipe Ingredients
- Bone-In, skin-on chicken thighs – You can also use boneless chicken thighs or skin-on chicken legs. But don’t use chicken breasts, they will dry out with the time it takes to roast the veggies.
- Potatoes – You can use russet potatoes, baby red potatoes, or Yukon gold potatoes.
- Carrots – The carrots can be substituted for parsnips.
- Onion and garlic cloves – 15 to 20 whole garlic cloves give this recipe great flavor.
- Fresh rosemary – We don’t recommend dried rosemary, it tends to be very woody.
- Kosher salt and black pepper
Tips
- Make sure all the vegetables are cut into equal sizes, so they all cook in the same amount of time.
- This dish roasts for an hour and a half so chicken breast pieces won’t work here they will dry out too much. No one wants dry chicken. So save the chicken breast for another recipe.
- Chicken thighs are the key here, they come out very moist, and tender, and the skin is extra crispy.
- We prepare the baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil and parchment paper. This helps with easy clean-up.
- Use a rimmed baking sheet. A pan with higher sides will prevent the chicken and vegetables from browning.

FAQ
Yes. If using a quick roasting vegetable add them during the last 20 minutes of baking time. Sweet potatoes tend to have a shorter cooking time, so add them after cooking the chicken thighs for about 30 minutes or so.
Sure! Switch it up to your desired taste. Try Italian seasoning, thyme, or dry ranch seasoning.
