Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 tbsp olive oil, 3 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper until smooth and fragrant.
  2. Step 2: Add 6 bone-in chicken thighs, 4 medium peeled and cut carrots, and 1 lb halved baby potatoes to the bowl. Toss gently to coat all evenly with the lemon-Dijon mixture.
  3. Step 3: Arrange the chicken thighs skin side up on a sheet pan, nestling the carrots and potatoes around them in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and vegetables are tender and golden at edges.
  4. Step 4: Remove the pan and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving alongside the roasted vegetables.
