This Chicken Thigh Sheet Pan meal is not fancy, complicated, or extravagant--just simple, wholesome ingredients that still produce incredible flavors.
Key Ingredients
- Chicken Thighs--Bone-in chicken legs, breasts, and thighs all work in this sheet pan chicken dinner. You can opt to leave the skin on or off. Do NOT use boneless chicken, as the meat will dry out before the vegetables get caramelized.
- Vegetables--Interchange with potatoes and Brussels sprouts for any hearty vegetable you like--sweet potato chunks, cubed russet potatoes, fresh broccoli, carrots. Just have all the vegetables be approximately the same size so they roast at the same rate (I recommend 1 to 1 ½ inch chunks for all vegetables.)
How to Make Sheet Pan Chicken Thighs
Step One: Prepare Chicken and Vegetables
- Cut Brussels sprouts in half.
- If not using small baby potatoes, cut potatoes into 1 to 1 ½ inch chunks.
- Place the Brussels sprouts and potatoes in the center or large sheet pan.
- Season with salt, pepper, rosemary, and olive oil. Toss to coat and spread out evenly on a sheet pan.
- Nestle chicken thighs on a sheet pan.
- Drizzle chicken with a bit of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Step Two: Roast
- Roast chicken and vegetables in the oven until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees use a meat thermometer and vegetables are browned and tender.
- Let chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Sounds great, but I can’t see what to do with the garlic? I’m assuming it gets mixed with the olive oil and put on the vegetables, can you clarify?
Kristen Chidsey
Yes Laura, mix with the oil and vegetables. Enjoy!

It’s in the oven now!

Can you use tin foil or parchment paper for an easier clean up?
Kristen Chidsey
Yes, foil works great for this recipe. The oven is a bit too hot for parchment paper. Enjoy.
