Equipment
Large rimmed sheet pan (about 12 x 18 inches) or a 9 x 13-inch baking dish
Ingredients
Chicken and veggies
2lbchicken thighs(boneless thighs can also be used; they may cook faster)
1lbpotatoescut into 1-inch cubes
1bell peppercut into 1½-inch pieces
½large red onionsliced into wedges
12ozbrussel sproutshalved lengthwise (can sub with zucchini slices but add it during the last 10 minutes of the bake time)

1lemonjuiced (about 3 tablespoons)
4-6garlic clovesminced
1tspdried oregano
1tspdried thyme
1tspDijon mustard
2tsptomato paste
2tspsalt
½tspfreshly ground black pepper
Garnish:
1tbspfinely chopped fresh parsley
extra Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, Dijon mustard, tomato paste, salt, and black pepper.
Reserve about ⅓ of the marinade for the vegetables.
Marinate the Chicken
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl with the remaining marinade and toss until well coated.
Let the chicken marinate for 10–15 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
Season the Vegetables
Add the potatoes, bell pepper, red onion, and Brussels sprouts to a large sheet pan.
Drizzle with the reserved marinade and toss until evenly coated. Spread the vegetables into an even layer.
Optional: If you prefer your vegetables more highly seasoned, sprinkle with an additional ¼–½ teaspoon salt.
Assemble and Bake
Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up over the vegetables.
Sprinkle with half of the Parmesan cheese and bake for 35–45 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken thighs, until:-The chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F-The potatoes are fork-tender-The vegetables are lightly browned
Boneless chicken thighs may cook more quickly, so begin checking for doneness around 30 minutes.
Broil for Extra Color
For crispier chicken skin and more golden vegetables, switch the oven to broil for 2–3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent the Parmesan from burning.
Finish and Serve
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm with lemon wedges, crusty bread, or a simple salad.
Notes
Cut potatoes evenly: Aim for 1-inch pieces so they cook at the same rate as the chicken.
Use a large sheet pan: Overcrowding can cause the vegetables to steam instead of roast.
Add zucchini later: If using zucchini instead of Brussels sprouts, stir it in during the last 10 minutes to prevent it from becoming too soft.
For extra crispy skin: Pat the chicken dry before marinating and broil at the end.
Chicken thighs are forgiving: While chicken is safe at 165°F, thighs become even more tender around 175–185°F.
