Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings 1 pound mini red potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces ¼ cup prepared pesto, divided 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs salt and ground black pepper to taste Directions 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. Tips If you like extra-soft potatoes, microwave cubed potatoes for 3 minutes before tossing with pesto in Step 2. I Made It Print 27 home cooks made it!
