Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.

In a large bowl, combine the quartered potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on one side of the prepared baking sheet.

In the same bowl (no need to wash), add the chicken thighs. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Pour this mixture over the chicken thighs and toss to coat thoroughly.

Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs on the other side of the baking sheet, leaving some space between them. Place the lemon slices on top of and around the chicken. Bake for 20 minutes.
- 5
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the trimmed asparagus pieces to the baking sheet, tossing them gently with any pan juices. Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue to bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C), the potatoes are tender and slightly crispy, and the asparagus is bright green and tender-crisp. If desired, broil for the last 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness, watching carefully to prevent burning.

Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if using, and serve immediately.
