Chicken thighs are a good source of protein and contain nutrients that can be a healthy addition to your diet. Eating protein-rich foods can support weight-management goals and bone health, among many other potential benefits. Bone-in thighs require more cooking time and chicken skin can contribute a lot of fat and calories to a dish, so we opted for boneless, skinless chicken thighs for this recipe. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs cook quickly and lend a lot of flavor with less fat. We use new potatoes in our recipe, which have several health benefits. Potatoes are a delicious and nutrient-packed vegetable, especially if you eat the skin. Potatoes are high in fiber and are an excellent source of vitamin B6, vitamin C and potassium. Per serving, our dish is low in calories and is a good source of protein, vitamins and minerals. What's the Best Temperature for Roasting Chicken Thighs? We roast the boneless, skinless chicken thighs, potatoes and scallions on a large rimmed baking sheet at 450 degrees F. Roasting at 450 degrees F ensures all the ingredients are cooked through at the same time. It only takes about 18 to 20 minutes in the oven, making this dish a quick and easy weeknight dinner that you'll want to make again and again. Additional reporting by Jan Valdez Ingredients 12 ounces new potatoes, quartered 2 bunches scallions, trimmed 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided ¾ teaspoon ground pepper, divided ½ teaspoon salt, divided 4 large boneless, skinless chicken thighs (1-1 1/4 pounds), trimmed 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs, such as dill, thyme and/or parsley 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot Directions Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Toss potatoes and scallions with 4 teaspoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon each pepper and salt in a large bowl. Spread evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet. Place chicken on top; drizzle with 2 teaspoons oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each pepper and salt. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165 degrees F and the potatoes are tender, 18 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon pepper with vinegar, herbs, mustard and shallot in a small bowl. Serve drizzled over the chicken and vegetables.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
