Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and set the rack in the center. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Rinse the produce and pat dry to prepare for roasting.
- Cut the potatoes in half and separate the cauliflower into small florets. Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread in a single layer on the sheet pan and bake for 15 minutes.
- Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides and set aside.
- Finish the lemon by grating all the zest and squeezing the juice from one lemon into a small bowl.
- Mince the garlic and add it to the bowl along with olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, and oregano; whisk until well combined to make the sauce.
- Thinly slice the red onion and add to the sheet pan after the first 15 minutes, distributing evenly over the vegetables.
- Place the chicken on top of the vegetables and drizzle the lemon sauce over everything.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through and nicely browned, about 20 minutes more.
- Transfer to plates, spoon any extra pan sauce over the chicken and vegetables, and serve promptly.
Two tips
- Prep ahead: chop the onion and zest the lemon up to a day in advance to speed assembly.
- Serving idea: finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a light dusting of oregano for extra brightness.
