Ingredients

• 6 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 medium red onion
• 0.25 cups olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 cups parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Add them to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Dice the red bell pepper into 1-inch pieces and slice the red onion into thin wedges. Add both to the bowl with the potatoes.

Step 4

Add the cherry tomatoes to the bowl along with minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, dried basil, paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Toss the vegetables until evenly coated.

Step 5

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt.

Step 6

Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Surround the chicken with the seasoned vegetables, distributing them evenly.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender.

Step 8

If desired, broil the meal on high for 2-3 minutes at the end of the cooking time to crisp up the chicken skin and lightly char the vegetables.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the entire dish with fresh parsley. If using, top with grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your Italian-Style Oven Dinner straight from the baking sheet or plated for a family-style meal.
