Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 ½ pounds bone-in, skinless chicken thighs

  • 1 ½ pounds baby red potatoes

  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes

  • ½ cup pesto

  • 2 tablespoons water

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  2. Combine chicken, potatoes, tomatoes, pesto, water, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large roasting pan; mix well.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Cook's Note:

You can use Yukon potatoes instead of red, if you'd like.
