Ingredients to Make Roasted Chicken and Veggies

Here's what you'll need to make this pleasing well-balanced dinner tonight:

bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs – you can sub in skin-on chicken legs or boneless, skinless chicken thighs. We don't recommend chicken breast, as they will become dry during the time it takes for the vegetables to roast
carrots – use rainbow carrots for a pretty look, or sub in parsnips or turnips
green beans – you can sub in broccoli and asparagus
baby red potatoes – you can sub cubed sweet potatoes or baby yellow potatoes
red onion – you can use a shallot or yellow onion
fresh rosemary – or you can sub 1 teaspoon dried rosemary for the 1 tablespoon fresh
fresh thyme – you can sub 1 teaspoon dried thyme for the 1 tablespoon fresh
avocado oil or olive oil – if you're using boneless, skinless chicken thighs, you'll need twice as much (1 tablespoon) oil
salt and black pepper

While the oven is preheating, start chopping those veggies. Next, get your sheet pan ready. Line it with a sheet of parchment paper. No need to dirty a bowl. As the next step, you can toss the veggies right with the oil and herbs right on the sheet pan. Place the chicken thighs over the veggies and sprinkle everything with salt and pepper. That's it – this one-pan roasted chicken and veggies dinner is ready for the oven. While it's cooking, toss the vegetables a few times. And because you combine and bake everything in one pan on parchment paper, clean up is so easy.
