Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
3
Add the cut chicken pieces and red potatoes to the bowl with the marinade. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
4
Spread the chicken and potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes.
5
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the asparagus to the sheet pan and toss gently with the chicken and potatoes. Return to the oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C), potatoes are tender, and asparagus is crisp-tender.
6
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving hot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use different vegetables?

Yes, broccoli florets, bell peppers, or green beans would also work well. Adjust roasting times as needed; denser vegetables may need to be added with the potatoes, while quicker-cooking ones can be added later.

How do I ensure the chicken is moist?

Cutting the chicken into uniform pieces helps ensure even cooking. Avoid overcooking; chicken thighs tend to stay juicier than breasts. Using parchment paper can also prevent sticking and drying.

Can I prepare the marinade ahead of time?

Yes, you can mix the marinade and even toss the chicken and potatoes in it a few hours before cooking. Store covered in the refrigerator until ready to roast.
