Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)

  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter (or olive oil)

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1/2 tsp chili powder (optional)

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp dried oregano or thyme

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 1 tbsp olive oil (extra drizzle)

  • Optional: 1 bell pepper, sliced

  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • Season chicken with paprika, garlic powder, chili powder (if using), salt, and pepper.

  • Heat butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken 4 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.

  • In the same skillet, add garlic, onion, and potatoes. Sauté 6–8 minutes until beginning to brown.

  • Return chicken to the skillet. Add bell pepper if using. Drizzle with olive oil.

  • Roast uncovered in the oven for 20–25 minutes until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.

  • Broil for 2–3 minutes if desired for crispier texture.

  • Rest 5 minutes, garnish with parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Substitute cauliflower or turnips for low-carb version.

  • Use plant-based butter for dairy-free.

  • Add shredded cheese in the last 5 minutes for extra richness.
