Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs (bone in skin on, 2 pounds)
- 4 tbsp ghee (salted butter, or olive oil for dairy-free)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp minced fresh rosemary or thyme (or 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning)
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes (cut into 1″ cubes, 4 cups)
- 1 pound frozen or fresh green beans (thawed)
Instructions
- Step: Preheat the oven to 425ºF. If your green beans aren’t thawed, take them out now and let them sit at room temperature.
- Step: Melt the ghee or butter over medium heat, then mix together with the garlic, rosemary, sea salt and pepper.
- Step: Place the cubed potatoes onto a large cookie sheet (17″x12″) then add the 4 chicken thighs.
- Step: Drizzle the chicken and potatoes with 3/4 of the garlic butter sauce. Toss the potatoes around just to coat them. In a separate bowl, toss the thawed green beans together with the remaining garlic butter and set them aside.
- Step: Bake the chicken and potatoes until mostly done, 25 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 450ºF.
- Step: With a spatula, scoot the potatoes and chicken together into the center to make room for the green beans. Add the green beans to the sides of the baking sheet.
- Step: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is done in the center (170ºF internal temperature) and the green beans are tender. Serve immediately.
Notes
For a tasty dairy free option, try olive oil in place of the ghee. Serve with lemon slices for squeezing over the top for a lemon garlic butter chicken thighs variation.
