  • Author: Ava McKenney

Description

Tender, juicy chicken thighs paired with perfectly roasted broccoli and cherry tomatoes, all coated in a rich garlic butter sauce. This one-pan wonder is quick to make, bursting with flavor, and perfect for any occasion!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt (plus more to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (plus more to taste)
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the chicken thighs, including under the skin.
  4. Arrange the broccoli florets and cherry tomatoes on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
  5. Place the seasoned chicken thighs on top of the vegetables. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.
  6. While the chicken is baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
  7. Once the chicken is cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute broccoli with green beans, asparagus, or your favorite vegetables.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • For extra crispy chicken skin, broil for 2-3 minutes after baking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
