This recipe for Roasted Lemon Chicken Thighs with Potatoes is a one-pan dinner that you can prepare in 5 minutes with only 7 ingredients, throw in the oven, and then relax while it cooks––perfect for those weeknights when you stumble into your apartment and immediately run downstairs to don a pair of sweatpants.

Ingredients
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1½ pounds Eastern or Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 10 cloves garlic, peeled
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro or parsley leaves
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F, and season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a roasting pan set over two burners at medium high heat.
- Sear the chicken skin-side down in the roasting pan. After the chicken thighs have been searing for about 5-7 minutes, flip them over. Add the potatoes and stir them in the oil. Add the lemon slices and garlic cloves, tossing everything together so the potatoes and garlic are well-coated in olive oil.
