Oven-Roasted Chicken and Vegetables

Oven-Roasted Chicken and Vegetables – Pan seared seasoned chicken thighs roasted in the oven with fresh herbed vegetables.As much as I love playing with different ingredients or mixing things up, I still crave the classic comfort food dishes.

Easy Chicken Recipe

You know those kind you’d eat at grandma’s house on Sunday. Those recipes that you don’t even think about when you make them, you just make them. You could put out family fires, have 27 people in your kitchen, or watch Scandal all while making it and it’d taste just as great as any other time you made it.

This is one of those dishes. Simple, easy, and utterly satisfying.

Fall is my favorite time of year. And while I love comfort food all year around, hot or cold, particularly when I need, you know, comfort, Fall just screams comfort food. This dish is just “fall” on a plate.

One Pan Easy Chicken Recipe

Plus this is one of those dishes you can play with, want an italian flavor to it, decrease the parsley and thyme and add some oregano and/or rosemary. Or use herbs de Provence. You can even go crazy and give it a Mexican profile and omit the thyme, sub in oregano, and use some cumin, garlic, and chili powder. Possibilities are endless.

The great thing about this recipe is it is one pan cooking. The meat and the veggies cook together making clean up even easier.
