  1. Preheat

    Preheat the oven to 425F.

  2. Add
    • Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
    • Mini yellow potatoes
    • Red onion

    Add the chicken, potatoes and onion to a large bowl.

  3. Add
    • Extra virgin olive oil
    • Tomato paste
    • Lemon

    Add the olive oil, tomato paste, lemon juice, and seasonings, then toss to coat everything well.

  4. Arrange

    On a large parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer.

  5. Place
    • Mini yellow potatoes
    • Red onion

    Place the potatoes and onions surrounding the chicken, avoiding overcrowding so everything roasts instead of steams.
