Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Mix potatoes with 2 tablespoons pesto in a bowl. Transfer potatoes into a large 11x13-inch baking dish. Unfold chicken thighs in the same bowl; rub remaining pesto on all sides. Fold thighs back up into original shape and place into the baking dish next to the potatoes.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven, stirring potatoes occasionally, until potatoes are soft when pieced with a fork, 28 to 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper before serving.
