- 2 cup Mixed Vegetables (Kid‑friendly veggies such as carrots, broccoli florets, and bell pepper strips)
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil (Extra‑virgin recommended)
- 1 tsp Salt (Kosher or sea salt)
- 0.5 tsp Black Pepper (Freshly ground)

Instructions
Preheat Oven
Set the oven to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat while you prepare the ingredients.
Time: PT10M
Temperature: 400°F
Prepare Vegetables
Quarter the baby potatoes and cut the chosen vegetables into bite‑size pieces. In a large bowl toss them with olive oil, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp black pepper, ½ tsp garlic powder, and ½ tsp paprika until evenly coated.
Time: PT10M
Make Garlic Parmesan Sauce
In a small saucepan melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the grated Parmesan and lemon juice (if using) until a smooth, slightly thickened sauce forms.
Time: PT5M
Season Chicken
Place the chicken thighs in the mixing bowl. Sprinkle the remaining ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp black pepper, ½ tsp garlic powder, and ½ tsp paprika over the meat. Pour the garlic‑Parmesan sauce over the chicken and toss until each piece is well coated.
Time: PT5M
Arrange on Sheet Pan
Line the sheet pan with parchment paper (optional). Spread the seasoned potatoes and vegetables in an even layer. Nestle the coated chicken thighs on top, leaving a little space between pieces for even browning.
Time: PT5M
Roast
Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven. Roast for 35–40 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are fork‑tender.
Time: PT40M
Temperature: 400°F
Finish and Serve
Remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle an additional ¼ cup grated Parmesan over the hot chicken and vegetables. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
