Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  2. Wash the potatoes and carrots. Cut potatoes into large dice and halved carrots lengthwise, then slice crosswise into thirds; spread everything on a sheet pan.
  3. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and black pepper; toss to coat.
  4. Place the sheet pan in the oven and start roasting while you prepare the chicken, about 5–10 minutes.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with paprika, salt, and pepper.
  6. Coat the bottom of the skillet with oil and add the chicken; sear 1–2 minutes per side until browned.
  7. Carefully remove the sheet pan from the oven and place the chicken in the center. Return to the oven and roast until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, 10–15 minutes.
  8. Wash and dry the thyme; strip leaves from the stems and discard the stems.
  9. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle the thyme over the chicken and vegetables; toss to coat.
  10. Transfer to plates and serve.

Two tips

  • Leftover thyme can be kept in the fridge for use in another dish within a day or two.
  • If you have extra salt or pepper at the table, adjust seasoning to taste after serving.
