Ingredients Needed
- Brown Sugar: Helps balance out all of the savory flavors with some complex sweetness.
- Seasonings: A blend of smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, red pepper flakes, and cumin give your chicken so much flavor.
- Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs: Bake to tender perfection in the oven.
- Olive Oil
- Baby Potatoes: Red or Gold are both fine.
- French Onion Soup Mix: A quick and easy way to instantly infuse your veggies with lots of amazing flavor.
- BBQ Sauce: Feel free to use your favorite brand or even make your own!
- Fresh Green Beans
How to Make Baked Chicken Potatoes and Green Beans
- Step 1: Combine all of the seasonings in a small mixing bowl. In a large bowl, toss chicken thighs with olive oil and the coat in seasoning blend.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, toss the potatoes and green beans with olive oil and onion soup dry mix.
- Step 3: Arrange the chicken thighs on one half of a baking sheet and add the potatoes to the other half. Bake!
- Step 4: Remove from the oven. Mix the green beans with the potatoes. Coat the chicken thighs in BBQ sauce, then back into the oven!
Recipe Tips
- Boneless skinless chicken breasts can also be used, but be aware that you'll need to reduce the cooking time a bit. You may even want to bake the potatoes on their own for a bit before cooking the chicken to ensure that the potatoes are tender.
- Instead of baby potatoes, red potatoes, gold potatoes, russet potatoes, or fingerling potatoes can be used. For larger potatoes, cut into bite sized pieces first.
- Cover the cookie sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
- If you want to add other veggies, try brussels sprouts, broccoli, baby carrots, or even entire garlic cloves for a punch of flavor.
- I much prefer to use fresh over frozen green beans, but if you want to use frozen be sure to fully thaw and drain them of excess liquid.
- If you have leftovers of your sheet pan chicken, transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
