Lemon Garlic Herb Chicken Potatoes (Printable Version)

Juicy chicken baked with potatoes, carrots, garlic, and lemon for a hearty one-pot family meal.

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 5 bone-in chicken thighs
02 - 900 grams creamer potatoes, cut into 4 cm chunks
03 - 5 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
04 - 1 medium onion, roughly chopped
05 - 6 garlic cloves, finely diced
06 - 3 teaspoons Herbes de Provence
07 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
08 - 1 lemon, sliced
09 - 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
10 - 1 teaspoon black pepper
11 - Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

→ Garlic Herb Butter

12 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
13 - 1 garlic clove, minced
14 - 1 teaspoon Herbes de Provence
15 - 0.5 teaspoon salt
16 - 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat oven to 220°C.
02 - Place potatoes, carrots, onion, diced garlic, olive oil, 1.5 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper into a Dutch oven. Mix thoroughly to combine.
03 - Cover the Dutch oven and bake vegetables for 20 minutes.
04 - In a small microwavable bowl, melt butter with minced garlic for 30 seconds. Stir in 1 teaspoon Herbes de Provence, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper.
05 - Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Brush with garlic herb butter, ensuring some butter is spread underneath the skin.
06 - Remove the Dutch oven from the oven. Place seasoned chicken thighs atop the partially roasted vegetables. Drizzle any remaining garlic herb butter over the potatoes. Arrange lemon slices over the dish.
07 - Return to oven uncovered. Roast for 40–45 minutes or until chicken thighs reach an internal temperature of 74°C.
08 - For extra crisp skin, place under a broiler for 3–5 minutes until golden and crispy.
09 - Remove the Dutch oven and allow the dish to rest for 5–10 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

# Additional Notes:

01 - If a Dutch oven is unavailable, substitute with a deep casserole dish covered tightly with aluminium foil.
02 - Thyme and rosemary may replace Herbes de Provence if desired.
03 - Uniform chicken thigh size ensures even cooking.
04 - Chicken legs or a mix of thighs and legs are suitable alternatives.
