Parmesan Garlic Chicken Thighs (Print Version)

Tender chicken thighs baked with Parmesan, garlic, potatoes, broccoli, and onions for an easy, tasty meal.

# What You'll Need:

→ Protein

01 - 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs

→ Sauce and Seasonings

02 - 0.5 cups Parmesan garlic sauce (store-bought or homemade)
03 - 1 teaspoon salt
04 - 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
05 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
06 - 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
07 - 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
08 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

→ Vegetables

09 - 1 pound baby potatoes, quartered
10 - 2 cups broccoli florets
11 - 1 medium onion, sliced

→ Oils and Garnish

12 - 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
13 - 0.3 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a large sheet pan with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
02 - Wash and quarter the baby potatoes. Slice the onion and chop the broccoli into bite-size pieces. Spread the vegetables evenly on the sheet pan, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and sprinkle with half of the seasoning blend (salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika). Toss to coat thoroughly.
03 - Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl. Add the remaining seasoning blend and the Parmesan garlic sauce. Toss gently to coat each piece evenly.
04 - Nestle the coated chicken thighs among the vegetables on the sheet pan, creating small pockets so the chicken juices flavor the vegetables during roasting.
05 - Bake for 35 minutes at 400°F, until chicken thighs reach an internal temperature of 185°F. For extra crispness, broil for 2 to 3 minutes at the end.
06 - Immediately sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the hot chicken and vegetables. Serve warm to enjoy the full depth of flavors.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Allow chicken to rest for five minutes after roasting for maximum juiciness. Use freshly grated Parmesan for optimal flavor and melt.
02 - Reheat leftovers on a baking sheet in a hot oven for about eight minutes to restore crispness.
