Rosemary Roasted Chicken Thighs and Vegetables

This is one of those clean out the vegetable bin type dinners.  It's all made in the same pan and is incredibly versatile to what you have on hand.  I love meals like this.  There is very little work to it at all, but it tastes fantastic!  I have added lemon slices and balsamic vinegar to this dish and both were successful.  Tonight I decided to keep it very basic :)

Bone-in chicken thighs were on sale here this week so that is what I used, but you could use chicken breasts or boneless skinless chicken thighs.  You will have to adjust your cooking time though.  Make sure your chicken is cooked through and has an internal temp 165 degrees.

Rosemary Roasted Chicken Thighs and Vegetables
1 lb potatoes (I used russet because they were on sale, but any potato works), cubed
2  medium yellow onions, quartered
3 zucchini, cubed
2 TBS minced garlic
3 TBS olive oil
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp dried rosemary
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
4 chicken thighs (lightly seasoned with salt, pepper, and rosemary)

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees
• Toss everything together in a large roasting pan except for chicken thighs
• Cover and roast for 20 minutes
• Uncover toss veggies and top with seasoned chicken thighs
• Roast uncovered for 25 minutes
• Toss vegetables and roast for another 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through

Your house will smell so good while this is roasting.  Very basic...yet delicious!  Add some celery, carrots, squash, eggplant, or whatever else is your family favorite.  You will be happy that it takes no time and everyone else will be happy to have their favorites in one dish!
