One Pan Chicken Thigh and Veg Roast
Sometimes at the end of a long day or a busy week, I just can’t bring myself to cook something that’s takes a whole lot of time. In those moments, my favourite things to cook are those that I can thrown into the oven without having to hover and watch until it’s ready.
As I’ve mentioned before, chicken is one of the things I don’t believe I can live without and thighs are probably my favourite cut of the chicken! They’re so juicy and pack a whole lot of flavour. So if it’s something you don’t use often, I’d recommend you try it as soon as possible!
Another part of the dish that I love is the smoked paprika – this has to be one of my favourite spices! My aunt introduced me to it a few years ago and in hindsight I’m not sure how I got by cooking without it for so long! It definitely adds warm, wholesome goodness to a number of the dishes I make.
If you have guests coming over, this is a great oven to table dish you can make for them to enjoy. So tuck in and let me know what you think!

Extra tip:
If you would like the skin on your chicken to crisp up and be golden delicious, break a few bits of butter over them before they go in the oven. Naughty but genuinely butter makes everything better.

Nice recipe, but it can serve with golden fried potetoe as well.
