Roasted Chicken Thighs With Winter Vegetables
I have often said that I love poultry, and in fact, I would never get tired of it. Thighs have become my favorite part of the chicken as they are meaty, moist, and flavorful. This dish is one you can prepare quickly, and you can roast everything together in one pan.
You can vary the vegetables depending on what you prefer or have on hand. I used Yukon Gold potatoes, yellow and red beets, red onion, and butternut squash. Fully satisfying and colorful, this dish needs a mixed salad and a few lemon wedges to complete your meal.
Buon Appetito!
