Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, minced rosemary, and thyme.
- Step 2: Rub the herb mixture evenly over chicken thighs. Place in a baking dish and scatter diced carrots, parsnips, and garlic cloves around the chicken.
- Step 3: Drizzle any remaining herb oil over the vegetables and toss to coat. Roast in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Step 4: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute. Discard any excess liquid from the dish before plating.
