Roasted Chicken Thighs & Vegetables Traybake – An Easy One-Pan Family Dinner

Step 1 – Prepare the Oven and Tray

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Lightly grease a large baking tray or baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2 – Season the Chicken

Place the chicken thighs in a bowl or directly on the tray.

Add minced garlic, olive oil, dried herbs, salt, and black pepper. Rub the seasoning evenly over the chicken to help develop a rich flavor while roasting.

Step 3 – Prepare the Vegetables

Add the potatoes, broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots to a large bowl.

Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and herbs. Toss well until all vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 4 – Arrange Everything on the Tray

Spread the vegetables evenly on the baking tray.

Place the seasoned chicken thighs around the vegetables, making sure everything has enough space to roast properly.

Step 5 – Roast Until Golden

Bake for about 45 minutes, turning the vegetables halfway through cooking.

The chicken should be fully cooked with a golden exterior, and the vegetables should be tender with slightly crispy edges.

Step 6 – Serve Warm

Remove from the oven and let the meal rest for a few minutes.

Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Pat the chicken dry before seasoning to help create a better roasted texture.
  • Cut vegetables into similar sizes so they cook evenly.
  • Use chicken thighs with skin for extra crispiness and flavor.
  • Avoid overcrowding the tray so the vegetables roast instead of steaming.
  • Add fresh lemon juice before serving for a bright finishing touch.
