The Cozy, One-Pan Lemon Herb Chicken & Potatoes

Hey, let's talk about the perfect, no-fuss dinner that feels fancy but is secretly incredibly easy. Imagine this: tender chicken thighs and crispy baby potatoes, all roasted together in a single pan until golden, then finished with a glorious, zesty sauce made from the pan drippings. The magic here is in the marinade—a simple paste of olive oil, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and a big squeeze of lemon juice that you massage right into the chicken and potatoes before they even hit the oven. As it roasts, your kitchen will smell like a professional bistro. Once everything is beautifully browned and the chicken is cooked through, you'll pull the pan out, stir in a little extra lemon juice and a handful of fresh parsley into the savory juices right there in the pan, creating an instant sauce. Just spoon it over everything on your plate. It’s the kind of comforting, flavorful meal that looks like you spent hours on it, but it honestly does all the work for you while you relax. Serve it with a simple green salad, and you've got a guaranteed winner for any night of the week.
