Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved

  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, thickly sliced

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp butter

  • 1 tsp chopped rosemary

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken dry and season with salt, pepper, and herbs.
