  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Cook Time: 40 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced
  • 1 cup lima beans (fresh or frozen)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh lime wedges for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prep Ingredients (10 minutes): Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the chicken thighs, broccoli florets, carrots, and lima beans in a large baking dish.
  2. Season Chicken and Veggies (5 minutes): Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over the dish, ensuring all ingredients are well coated.
  3. Bake (40 minutes): Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the chicken thighs are cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the skin is crispy. The vegetables should be tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. Garnish and Serve (5 minutes): Remove the dish from the oven. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh lime wedges.

Notes

For the best result, make sure the chicken thighs are placed skin-side up to ensure the skin gets crispy in the oven.

Spacing the chicken and vegetables evenly allows for better heat circulation and even cooking.

The lime wedges add a refreshing touch to the dish, cutting through the richness of the chicken.

This one-dish meal is not only easy to prepare but also minimizes cleanup, making it a perfect choice for busy evenings.

Pair this with...

Herby Baked Smashed Potatoes

Start with baby potatoes, boiling them until they're just tender. Once boiled, place them on a baking tray and use the back of a spoon or a potato masher to gently 'smash' them, keeping them mostly intact but flattened. Drizzle with olive oil, letting it seep into the crevices created by the smashing. Now, sprinkle a medley of your favorite herbs over them. Think rosemary, thyme, or even a touch of parsley. Add a pinch of sea salt and a crack of black pepper to enhance those herbal notes. Bake in a preheated oven until the edges of the potatoes turn crispy and golden, while the centers remain soft and fluffy.

Tomato and Cucumber Salad

Begin with some ripe tomatoes and slice them into wedges. Take a cucumber and cut it into thin rounds. Mix them together in a bowl. Add a bit of olive oil and a splash of vinegar—red or white wine vinegar works best. Season with some salt and pepper to taste. If you've got some basil or dill on hand, you can chop that up and throw it in too.

Peach Iced Tea

Start by selecting a quality black or green tea as your base. Brew the tea a touch stronger than usual, as the ice and peach infusion will mellow its intensity. While your tea is steeping, prepare a peach syrup by simmering fresh or frozen peach slices with a bit of water until they're soft and have released their juices. Blend this mixture and strain it to get a smooth peach concentrate. Once your tea has cooled to room temperature, combine it with the peach syrup in a pitcher, adjusting to your desired sweetness. Chill in the fridge to let the flavors marry. When you're ready to serve, fill glasses with ice, pour over your peach-infused tea, and garnish with a fresh peach slice or a sprig of mint.
