Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 6 pieces small Yukon gold potatoes
• 3 pieces carrots
• 200 grams green beans
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 1 piece lemon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and pat dry the chicken thighs. Trim any excess fat if needed.

Step 3

Cut the Yukon gold potatoes and carrots into bite-sized pieces. Trim the ends of the green beans.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 5

Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly in the seasoning mixture. Remove the thighs and set aside.

Step 6

Add the potatoes, carrots, and green beans into the same bowl. Toss them to coat evenly with the remaining oil and spices.

Step 7

In a large baking dish, spread the seasoned vegetables into an even layer. Place the chicken thighs on top of the vegetables.

Step 8

Pour the chicken broth evenly into the baking dish to help keep everything moist and flavorful during cooking.

Step 9

Slice the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the chicken and vegetables. Add the squeezed lemon halves to the dish for extra flavor.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are fork-tender.

Step 11

Optional: For a golden-brown finish, broil the dish for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Little Chicken Dinners!
