Baked Pesto Chicken Thighs and Potatoes

Baked Pesto Chicken Thighs and Potatoes

Recipe by France C from allrecipes.com

Dinner 40 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 1 pound mini red potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 0.25 cup prepared pesto, divided
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Mix potatoes with 1/2 of the pesto in a bowl. Transfer potatoes to an 11x13-inch baking dish.
  • Place chicken thighs the same bowl. Unfold chicken and rub remaining pesto all over. Fold thighs back up into original shape and place into the baking dish next to potatoes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, stirring potatoes occasionally, until potatoes are soft when pieced with a fork and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 28 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Season with salt and pepper before serving.
