A quick and easy one-pan recipe featuring crispy garlic butter chicken thighs roasted alongside tender vegetables, perfect for cozy dinners with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on (about 1.5 lbs / 700 g)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (about 57 g), softened
  • 4 large garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or rosemary, chopped (optional)
  • 1 lb baby potatoes (450 g), halved
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 8 oz green beans (225 g), trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
  2. Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Sprinkle smoked paprika evenly over the skin if using.
  3. In a small bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic and chopped herbs. Set aside.
  4. Toss potatoes, carrots, and green beans in olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  5. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Once shimmering, place chicken thighs skin-side down. Cook without moving for 6-7 minutes until skin is deeply golden and crispy.
  6. Flip the chicken thighs and immediately dollop the garlic butter mixture on top of each piece.
  7. Nestle the prepared vegetables around the chicken in the skillet, spreading evenly.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender and caramelized at the edges.
  9. Optional: Spoon some of the pan juices over the chicken before serving for extra garlic flavor.
  10. Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken skin dry for best crispiness. Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even searing. Add garlic butter only after flipping chicken to prevent burning. Stir vegetables halfway through roasting for even browning. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness. If skillet is not oven-safe, transfer to a rimmed baking sheet before roasting.
