Savor the cozy flavors of a classic comfort meal with this delicious baked chicken thighs dinner, complete with vibrant green beans, sweet corn, and creamy mashed potatoes!

Ingredients

4
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 pound green beans, trimmed
  • 1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
  • 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2

Season the chicken thighs with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme. Place them on a baking sheet.

3

In a separate bowl, toss the green beans and corn with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange them around the chicken on the baking sheet.

4

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

5

While the chicken and veggies are baking, cook the potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

6

Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Add milk and butter, then mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7

Once the chicken and vegetables are done, serve them alongside the mashed potatoes for a complete comfort meal.

Chef's Tips

For extra crispy skin, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
Feel free to add your favorite herbs and spices to the chicken seasoning for extra flavor.
Use fresh vegetables when in season for the best taste and texture.

Troubleshooting

If the chicken is not browning, ensure you have enough oil and increase the oven temperature slightly.
For runny mashed potatoes, add more potatoes or reduce the milk.
If the veggies are overcooked, reduce their baking time next time.

Recipe Variations

Try substituting chicken thighs with drumsticks or chicken breasts.
Add other vegetables such as carrots or bell peppers to the mix.
Spice it up with some chili flakes for a little heat.

Healthy Alternatives

Substitute skinless chicken thighs for a lower fat option.
Use low-fat milk in the mashed potatoes for reduced calories.
Replace butter with olive oil in the mashed potatoes.

Serving Suggestions

Pair with a side salad for added freshness.
Serve with a slice of crusty bread to soak up the flavors.
