Instructions

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

In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat. Spread the 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. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat the chicken. Arrange the chicken thighs on the other side of the baking sheet, leaving some space between them.

Roast for 15 minutes. While the chicken and potatoes are roasting, in the same bowl, combine the trimmed asparagus with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the juice from half of the lemon. Toss to coat.

After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the seasoned asparagus to the baking sheet, tucking it around the chicken and potatoes. Place the lemon slices over the chicken and vegetables. Return to the oven and continue to roast for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C), the potatoes are tender, and the asparagus is crisp-tender.

Remove from the oven. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
