Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1 large bunch asparagus, woody ends trimmed
  • 1 medium lemon, thinly sliced
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, honey, oregano, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place chicken in a large bowl. Pour about two-thirds of the marinade over the chicken and toss to coat.
  4. In a separate bowl, toss potatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange potatoes in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan.
  5. Roast potatoes for 15 minutes.
  6. Remove pan from oven. Push potatoes to one side. Add the marinated chicken and asparagus to the pan. Scatter lemon slices over everything. Drizzle any remaining marinade from the bowl over the top.
  7. Return pan to oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F) and vegetables are tender-crisp.
  8. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Let chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan; use two pans if needed. For chicken breasts, check for doneness a few minutes early as they cook faster. Vegetables can be swapped for broccoli, green beans, or zucchini. For a Whole30 version, use compliant maple syrup instead of honey.
