Roasted Chicken Thighs Potatoes & Scallions with Herb Vinaigrette

Roasting chicken thighs directly on top of the vegetables bastes the scallions and potatoes with delicious drippings in this healthy dinner recipe.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces new potatoes, quartered
  • 2 bunches scallions, trimmed
  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • ¾ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
  • ½ teaspoon salt, divided
  • 4 large boneless, skinless chicken thighs (1-1 1/4 pounds), trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs, such as dill, thyme and/or parsley
  • 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
  2. Toss potatoes and scallions with 4 teaspoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon each pepper and salt in a large bowl. Spread evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet. Place chicken on top; drizzle with 2 teaspoons oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each pepper and salt. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F and the potatoes are tender, 18 to 20 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon pepper with vinegar, herbs, mustard and shallot in a small bowl. Serve drizzled over the chicken and vegetables.
