This Easy Comfort Dinner Before New Year is a perfect all-in-one meal featuring juicy chicken thighs and tender potatoes baked together with fragrant garlic butter. Simple, hearty, and made in just one pan, it’s a cozy dish ideal for a fuss-free festive evening.

Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

Vegetables

  • 4 medium potatoes, cut into chunks
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Fats & Seasonings

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken and potatoes. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a large baking sheet, arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up and spread the potato chunks around them in an even layer.
  2. Season generously. Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over both the chicken and the potatoes to ensure rich flavor throughout the dish.
  3. Add garlic butter. Mix together the melted butter and minced garlic, then drizzle this mixture evenly over the chicken and potatoes to infuse the meal with savory richness.
  4. Bake until golden and cooked through. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken skin is crispy, the juices run clear, and the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
  5. Serve hot. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your comforting one-pan dinner warm from the tray.

Notes

  • Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for the best flavor and juiciness.
  • Cut potatoes evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  • You can add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme with the garlic butter for extra aroma.
  • Check chicken doneness by ensuring internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
