Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 2 cups red potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes
• 1 cup carrots, peeled and chopped
• 1.5 cups broccoli florets
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced red potatoes, carrots, and broccoli florets.

Step 3

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables and season them with 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space for the chicken thighs.

Step 5

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then rub them evenly with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle each thigh with the remaining garlic powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Nestle the chicken thighs among the vegetables on the baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender and golden around the edges.

Step 8

Optional: During the last 5 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken or vegetables for a cheesy finish.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Chicken Garbage Pale dish on plates or family-style directly from the baking sheet. Enjoy!
