Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut 1.5 lb potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp salt on a baking sheet.

  2. Step 2

    Roast potatoes for 15 minutes, until they start to brown at edges. Meanwhile, pat 4 chicken thighs dry and season with remaining 1/2 tsp salt.

  3. Step 3

    Remove sheet from oven, push potatoes to one side, place chicken thighs skin-side up on the other side. Roast 25-30 minutes, until chicken is golden and juices run clear (internal temp 165°F).

  4. Step 4

    While chicken roasts, make salad: in a large bowl, combine 4 cups arugula, 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, and 3 sliced green onions.

  5. Step 5

    Whisk together 2 tbsp olive oil and juice of 1 lemon. Pour over salad and toss to coat.

  6. Step 6

    Let chicken rest 5 minutes. Serve chicken and potatoes with salad on the side.
