Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Preheat the oven

    Turn the oven to 200 °C, convection if you have it.

  2. Prep the potatoes

    Wash the 210 g of potatoes and cut them into 2 cm cubes, skin on. Put them in the roasting dish with 1 tbsp of olive oil, the pinch of salt and the pinch of pepper, then toss.

  3. Season the thighs

    In a bowl, mix the herbes de Provence with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Rub the 6 chicken thighs with this mix on all sides.

  4. Roast the potatoes and chicken

    Set the thighs skin side up on the potatoes, not packed too tight. Roast at 200 °C.

    Tip · Don't pack the thighs and potatoes, or they steam instead of browning. Use a big enough dish.

  5. Flip the potatoes

    Take out the dish, toss the potatoes in the juices and put it back in the oven at 200 °C. The thighs should be nicely golden with clear juices, 74 °C inside.

    Tip · If the thighs are thick and the juices are still pink, give them 5 to 10 more min. Chicken must always be cooked through.

  6. Cook the green beans

    Melt the 10 g of butter in the skillet over medium heat, add the 110 g of frozen green beans. Sauté them, stirring, until tender and hot.

  7. Check and serve

    Poke a thigh near the bone: the juices should run clear, no pink. Serve the thighs with the roasted potatoes and green beans.

And there you go, it's readyCheck off every step to celebrate.
