Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes, toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper on a sheet pan.
  2. Step 2: Roast potatoes for 20 minutes until edges are crispy and golden, flipping halfway through.
  3. Step 3: While potatoes roast, pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then season with remaining salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp rosemary.
  4. Step 4: Heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; sear chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Step 5: Squeeze juice from 1/2 lemon over chicken, then scatter roasted potatoes and minced garlic around chicken on the sheet pan. Top with remaining rosemary and lemon zest; bake 5 more minutes until garlic is fragrant.
