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.
