Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, toss the 4 sliced potatoes and 2 sliced carrots with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper until coated.

  2. Step 2

    Arrange the potato and carrot mixture evenly in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place the 6 chicken thighs on top, skin side up, and drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.

  3. Step 3

    Sprinkle the 1 tsp dried mint over the chicken and vegetables. Season the chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, until the chicken skin is golden and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

  5. Step 5

    Sprinkle the 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the casserole and bake for another 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. Step 6

    Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if you have them.
