  1. Preheat and prep: Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup.
  2. Season the chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken, olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat. Marinate at least 15 minutes or overnight for best flavor.
  3. Prepare vegetables: Cube potatoes to about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Slice mushrooms and bell peppers. Lightly oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Arrange on tray: Spread chicken, potatoes, mushrooms, and peppers on the sheet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding for proper roasting and caramelization.
  5. Roast: Bake 25–30 minutes, tossing halfway. Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C); potatoes should be tender with crisp edges.Discover moreMushroomSALADmushroomSoupSaladGrillingGarlicpotatomushroomspepper
  6. Finish: Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle parsley. Let cool slightly before portioning.
  7. Store: Divide evenly into 4 airtight containers. Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze for longer. Reheat in a microwave or a 350°F (175°C) oven until hot.

Yes. Thighs are juicier and flavorful. Add about 5 minutes to the roasting time and confirm 165°F (74°C) internal temperature.
