Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine the quartered baby red potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on one half of the prepared sheet pan.
- 3
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to give them a head start.
- 4
While the potatoes are roasting, pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. In the same bowl (no need to wash), toss the chicken thighs with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the juice of half a lemon. Season with a pinch more salt and pepper if desired.
- 5
Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Add the chicken thighs to the other half of the sheet pan, arranging them in a single layer. Scatter the trimmed asparagus around the chicken and potatoes. Place the lemon slices over the chicken and asparagus.
- 6
Return the sheet pan to the oven and continue to roast for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C), the asparagus is tender-crisp, and the potatoes are fork-tender and lightly browned.
- 7
Carefully remove the sheet pan from the oven. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if using, and serve immediately.
