Roasted Sheet Pan Chicken Thighs
We all want a delicious, easy, inexpensive meal to feed our family on weeknights. These Roasted Sheet Pan Chicken Thighs are all that and more.
I have found a few times chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on, on sale at a really low price for a big huge package. I then divide them up and freeze into thirds or fourths.
A few simple ingredients make this scrumptious dinner in no time. I love that it is a complete meal on a sheet, easy veggies and chicken and so does my family.
Leaving the skin-on and bone-in while cooking adds amazing flavor to this simple chicken dinner.
The chicken roasts up juicy along with the veggies being sweet and tender. There is such little clean up also with this recipe.
If you want to line the pan with foil, then there is even less clean up!
I have made this recipe many times now and have added other veggies I have on hand like squash, parsnips, turnip, sweet potatoes, Brussel sprouts etc.
You will fall in love with this recipe and make it again and again. Sure doesn’t taste like you just added a bunch of ingredients to a tray and popped it in the oven.
It tastes like you slaved over it. The chicken juices escape to add flavor to the veggies. Cooking sheet pan dinners are easy and delicious!!
The veggies then brown and caramelize giving even more flavor to the meal. Using little potatoes couldn’t be easier too, no need to peel, cut or even wash, just pop them onto the tray.
The meal prep. time is about 10 minutes maximum!! You then pop them in the oven and have an amazing meal in no time!!
We have lots of other great chicken recipes too like Lemon Garlic Sauvignon Blanc Braised Chicken or our very popular Healthy Slow Cooker Butter Chicken.

Phil Campbell says
January 1, 2017 at 12:32 pmWould this work with boneless, skinless thighs as well?
Tara Noland says
January 1, 2017 at 12:41 pmSure it would Phil but just wouldn’t be quite as delicious and more expensive. But, in saying that, I almost always use boneless, skinless thighs.

January 31, 2017 at 11:38 amI saw this was a weight watcher meal. Do you have the point value or the nutrition facts to share?
Thanks
Tara Noland says
January 31, 2017 at 11:57 amI am sorry no I don’t, I am sure Weight Watchers could help you with that!
Dinah Brock says
October 25, 2017 at 8:10 amsince there is a no. 1 in directions….is there a number 2, or more? I was looking for what came next>>>
Tara Noland says
October 25, 2017 at 8:16 amI guess all that is missing is serve and eat. Nothing more, very simple recipe.
Jodie says
January 15, 2018 at 9:24 amIf I were to use one bone in chicken breast and three bone in thighs, would I then cook it for the same amount of time?
Jodie says
January 15, 2018 at 9:27 amSorry I thought this recipe was for chicken legs, just realized they are thighs.
Tara Noland says
January 15, 2018 at 9:45 amThe small thighs do cook much faster than a chicken breast. Just adjust your time and check temperatures to make sure they are done. Chicken is cooked at 165F.
Jodie says
January 15, 2018 at 4:07 pmI made this and I wanna tell you it was very good. I let it bake at 425 degrees for 35 minutes and it came out perfect. I even made gravy with the drippings. My husband loved it. Thank you for this recipe.
Tara Noland says
January 15, 2018 at 4:14 pmSo glad you enjoyed it, thank you so much for telling me. Such an easy dinner, we love to make this!
Nancy says
January 19, 2018 at 6:08 amI made this last night with chicken legs, it smelled so good roasting. Next time I will make 2 more potatoes and not chop the carrots so small, mine were a bit overdone. Very good dinner for a cold, snowy night here in North Carolina. Thanks…
Tara Noland says
January 19, 2018 at 7:20 amSo glad you enjoyed it, I love how easy it is! Stay warm!

Loretta says
February 6, 2019 at 7:20 pmI made this tonight and everyone loved it. I omitted the potatoes and just added more veggies. Served w a quick side of rice. Delicious way to use up veggies! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Tara Noland says
February 7, 2019 at 7:29 amSo glad you enjoyed it, we just love how simple it is yet so delicious too!
Terry C. says
March 24, 2019 at 7:50 pmI made this tonight. The chicken skin skin didn’t get as crisp as I wanted. I was worried about cooking too long to get it to that point that it might turn out dry. Any idea what went wrong? Other than that it was delicious and so easy. I will definitely make it again and hope the skin gets crispy and crunchy next time. Thank you for the recipe. I love doing everything on one baking sheet. SO GREAT!!!
Tara Noland says
March 25, 2019 at 8:14 amWas your oven hot enough? And did the chicken get a good toss in the olive oil. Those are two things that will ensure a good crispy skin. Plus, not crowding, have everything spread out with lots of space to brown.
