Instructions
Making Sheet Pan Garlic Butter Chicken and Veggies is easy with these clear steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This ensures they crisp up nicely in the oven.
3. Make Garlic Butter Mixture: In a bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, dried Italian herbs, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
4. Coat Chicken: Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over each chicken thigh, making sure to get under the skin for maximum flavor.
5. Prepare Vegetables: In a separate bowl, toss the mixed vegetables with any remaining garlic butter mixture. Add a dash of salt and pepper to taste.
6. Arrange on Sheet Pan: Place the chicken on a large baking sheet, skin-side up. Distribute the veggies around the chicken in a single layer, ensuring even cooking.
7. Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown.
8. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle fresh parsley over the top. Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving.
This streamlined process illustrates just how easy it can be to prepare a spectacular meal.
