Sheet Pan Supper: Pesto Chicken Thighs and Vegetables
1 lb. bone in, skin on chicken thighs
1 lb. bone in, skin on chicken wings or drumsticks
10 carrots, chopped into ¼ inch thick sticks
1½ lbs. baby red potatoes, quartered
½ cup prepared basil pesto
1 T. olive oil
2 tsp. balsamic vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Spread the carrots, potatoes, and chicken out on the baking sheet. Generously sprinkle everything with Kosher salt and black pepper. It should look like a light snow has fallen on everything. In a mixing bowl, stir together the olive oil, balsamic, pesto, and garlic. Rub the mixture all over the chicken and veggies. Place in the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and chicken registers at least 165 degrees.
