Rainy day and much cooler out, so made chicken quarters, potatoes, grape tomatoes and green bean sheetpan dinner tonight. Chicken is marinated in a mixture of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic and Italian dry seasonings salt & pepper. Remainder of the marinade mixed with the veggies and then baked with a sprinkle of smoked paprika on chicken and veggies.

RECIPE:

ITALIAN CHICKEN THIGHS SHEET PAN DINNER

The use of SMOKED Paprika is delicious in this recipe, 

DO NOT use regular paprika

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes 

1 teaspoon dried basil 

1 teaspoon kosher salt 

1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper 

5 cloves garlic, minced 

1 cup olive oil

8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or 6 Large bone-in chicken thighs 

1 pound green beans

2 cups mixed cherry tomatoes 

Some small purple and white mini potatoes halved or quartered

2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Smoked Paprika

• To a bowl or pitcher, add the vinegar, parsley, basil, salt, pepper, garlic and 1 cup of the olive oil. Whisk until well combined.
• Put the chicken in a large zipper bag and pour in half the dressing. Seal the bag and squish to coat the chicken put in fridge for about 2 hours.
• .
• Trim the ends of the green beans and put in a large bowl or another Ziplock bag with the tomatoes and potatoes.. Pour over the remaining dressing and toss.
• Using tongs, arrange the chicken skin-side up on a sheet pan. Don’t pour the chicken from the bag to the sheetpan. You don’t want the chicken swimming in all that marinade. Also, use a slotted spoon or tongs to transfer the beans, potatoes and tomatoes to the sheet pan, leaving the excess marinade behind that can be discarded.
• Sprinkle the tops of the chicken thighs with some Smoked Paprika. Roast at 425 degrees on a foil lined sheet pan for about 50 minutes depending on the size of the thighs. If the thighs are smaller, timing could be less. You want the chicken nicely browned and the internal temp of the chicken at 195 degrees.
