Equipment
- 1 Large rimmed sheet pan
- 1 Small Saucepan
- 1 mixing bowl (optional)
Ingredients
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1½ lbs baby potatoes, halved
- 8 oz sliced mushrooms
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 jar, 12 oz chicken gravy
- Fresh parsley, optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Place the halved baby potatoes, mushrooms, and sliced onion on a large rimmed sheet pan. Toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a small pinch of salt and pepper.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and rub them with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Season the chicken thighs evenly on all sides.
- Place the chicken thighs skin-side up over and around the vegetables, making sure everything is spread out in an even layer.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, stirring the vegetables once halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- While the chicken is finishing, heat the chicken gravy according to the package directions. Do not add anything to the gravy.
- Transfer the roasted chicken, potatoes, mushrooms, and onions to plates. Spoon the warm chicken gravy generously over everything. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
