Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup. This initial setup is crucial for a successful Sheet Pan Baked Chicken and Potatoes Recipe.

In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs and 1 1/2 lbs quartered baby Yukon Gold potatoes. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil. Add 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.

Spread the seasoned chicken and potatoes in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Roast for 20 minutes. This initial roasting ensures the potatoes begin to tenderize and the chicken starts to brown, laying the foundation for your Sheet Pan Baked Chicken and Potatoes Recipe.

Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Add 1 lb broccoli florets and 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced, to the pan. Drizzle the broccoli with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and season with a pinch more salt and pepper. Toss gently with the chicken and potatoes.

Return the sheet pan to the oven and continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), the potatoes are fork-tender, and the broccoli is crisp-tender.

Once cooked, remove the Sheet Pan Baked Chicken and Potatoes Recipe from the oven. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with 1 whole lemon, cut into wedges, for a fresh burst of flavor.
