Ingredients for the One-Pan Herb Chicken & Roasted Veggie Bake

The beauty of this dish lies in its simplicity, and the ingredients are all about fresh, vibrant flavors. Each component plays a vital role, from the succulent chicken thighs to the hearty vegetables and aromatic herbs.

• Chicken thighs
• Carrots
• Red potatoes
• Red onion
• Zucchini
• Bell pepper
• Olive oil
• Garlic cloves
• Fresh rosemary
• Fresh thyme
• Lemon juice
• Salt and pepper

How To Make the One-Pan Herb Chicken & Roasted Veggie Bake

Step 1: Prep the Chicken

Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs and pat them dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, pepper, and a mix of chopped rosemary and thyme. Drizzle with olive oil and a splash of lemon juice. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the vegetables.

Step 2: Chop the Veggies

Peel and slice the carrots, cut the red potatoes into chunks, slice the red onion into wedges, and chop the zucchini and bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Place them all in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3: Season Everything

Add minced garlic, a generous drizzle of olive oil, and the remaining herbs to the bowl of veggies. Toss well to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4: Assemble the Pan

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Spread the seasoned vegetables out in a single layer, and nestle the marinated chicken thighs on top.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and cooked through and the veggies are tender with crispy edges. If needed, broil for an extra 2-3 minutes for added color.

Step 6: Serve It Up

Let everything rest for a few minutes out of the oven. Plate up a chicken thigh with a generous scoop of roasted vegetables, and spoon any pan juices over the top for an extra flavor boost.

How to Serve and Store Your One-Pan Herb Chicken & Roasted Veggie Bake

This dish is generous enough to feed about 4 hungry people and is the kind of meal that feels cozy yet clean. Serve it straight from the oven with some crusty bread or a scoop of rice if you want to stretch it a bit further. For leftovers, store everything in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. The roasted veggies actually become more flavorful over time, and the chicken stays nice and juicy.

When reheating, a quick stint in the oven at 350°F will keep the texture of both meat and vegetables intact, better than the microwave. If you’re planning ahead, you can even prep everything a day in advance and just bake when ready to eat.
