One Pan Baked Chicken and Potatoes
This one pan baked chicken and potatoes is a great midweek meal to add to your rotation .
No marinate, no fancy ingredients, it’s a one pan, simple meal that is ready in an hour. Just toss the chicken thighs, baby potatoes, and chopped onion with olive oil, garlic, thyme, dried oregano, paprika, salt and pepper, then pop it in the oven. The chicken skin turns very crispy, while the meat stays juicy
Serve the baked chicken and potatoes with vegetables or with a salad to make it a complete meal.
I made this recipe with chicken thighs, you can replace them with chicken breasts, drumsticks or with a combination of the three. If you are using other chicken cuts, you may have to adjust the cooking time, as needed.
I used salt, pepper, paprika, dried oregano, and thyme but you can change them around to suit your preferences.
I’d gladly eat this baked chicken and potatoes for dinner every day of the week – it’s so delicious, quick and easy!

This was a perfect one-pan meal! I made this on a day I had to work late, and was still able to get dinner on the table on time. I didn’t have all the seasonings so I used what I had and it was delish!. DH wants to add this to the weekly rotation. I’m so glad because it was easy & quick!
I’m very glad to hear that, Jeannette! This is one of my favorite recipes and I always use whatever seasonings/veggies I have on hand.
I would like to try this recipe. if I use chicken breasts do I need to cut them smaller and does it still work if there is no skin on the chicken breast
I make this recipe weekly with skinless chicken breasts, you can just follow the recipe as it is. Put a small pan or oven-safe container with hot water in the oven, to keep the chicken moist. :)
Thank you for the quick reply.
I’ve never heard of this trick! So just place an extra oven-safe container in the oven separate of the dish in order to keep it moist?! This could be a huge game changer.
Yes! I do this all the time! :) Let me know if you try.
Do I add the water into the chicken or place water into another pan?

OMG this was so easy,convenient and tasty. Didn’t have some of the spices so I used oregano and seasoned salt. But if you use the fresh garlic alone with the onions you will still get the flavors you desire. Definitely putting this recipe in my weekly rotation .
