4-Ingredient Sheet Pan Chicken with Pesto and Schmaltzy Radishes Recipe
4-Ingredient Sheet Pan Chicken with Pesto and Schmaltzy Radishes
Serves 4
With only 4 ingredients, this is an easy weeknight dinner that comes together in a snap. Radishes and potatoes become savory and flavorful as they are basted by schmaltz, or chicken fat, and herby pesto mingles with the pan juices to become a delicious sauce.
Ingredients:
- 8 bone-in, skin-on, chicken thighs
- 3 bunches red radishes, leaves removed, halved
- 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, cut into wedges
- 8 ounces basil pesto
- OPTIONAL:
- 1 lemon
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Place chicken, radishes, and potatoes on sheet pan. Drizzle with a tablespoon or two of extra virgin olive oil. Season everything with salt and pepper, to taste. Mix to combine. Arrange chicken skin-side up atop vegetables.
- Roast 45 minutes to an hour, or until chicken skin is crispy and a probe thermometer entered into the thickest part of the chicken reads 165°F. Remove pan from oven.
- Immediately dollop pesto around pan, allowing it to melt into hot juices. Allow to rest at least 10 minutes. Squeeze a lemon over the top, if using, and serve.
