Garlic Ranch Chicken and Veggies
Yields: 4 servings
Ingredients:
8 teaspoons brown sugar, divided
8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
16 ounces baby red potatoes, halved
16 ounces baby peeled carrots
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (1-ounce) package Ranch Seasoning and Salad Dressing Mix
3 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
Using your fingers, work the brown sugar, about 1 teaspoon per thigh, onto both sides of the chicken.
Place chicken, potatoes and carrots in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Ranch Seasoning and garlic; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Place into oven and roast until the chicken is completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes.* Then broil for 2-3 minutes, or until caramelized and slightly charred.
Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
Notes
*Cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the potatoes and carrots.
