These paprika chicken thighs with aïoli and rosemary roasties are a website favourite. An easy, one-pan chicken dinner with potatoes, it’s packed with Spanish flavours like sweet red peppers, rosemary and smoky paprika.
Keep the washing up to a minimum with our stress-free traybake recipes collection.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp garlic granules
- 4 skinless boneless free-range chicken thighs
- 400g maris piper or other floury potatoes, sliced
- 3-4 rosemary sprigs, leaves picked and chopped, plus extra for serving
- 1 large red pepper, seeds removed, cut into quarters
- 1 large red onion, cut into 6 wedges
- Dairy-free/vegan aïoli to serve (optional) – we used Leon Garlic Aioli
You’ll also need
- Large oven tray (at least 20cm x 30cm)
Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C fan/gas 7. In a large bowl, mix together 2 tbsp of the olive oil, the paprika and the garlic granules with plenty of salt and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs, turning to coat, then leave to one side for the mixture to marinate.
- Add 1 tbsp olive oil to a large oven tray and put in the oven for 5 minutes to heat up. Remove the tray from the oven and add the potatoes and rosemary, drizzle over the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, then put back in the oven to roast for 20 minutes, tossing the potatoes after 10 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, add the red pepper, onion and marinated chicken to the tray. Return the tray to the oven, then roast for 20 minutes more until the chicken is cooked through and the veg are tender and slightly charred. Serve with aïoli, if you like, and some extra rosemary sprinkled over.

I’m hooked on smoked paprika and this dish is so full of flavour! Who doesn’t love a one-pot meal in the middle of the week?
This was a winner on all levels, tasty, easy & 1 pan. Another dish added to the tried, tested & fab folder
We really enjoyed this. Increased the number of fillets slightly & a bit more red pepper, as serving three. Had salad on the side. The potatoes are particularly yummy! Used ready-made Stokes garlic mayo (which states it is an aioli) and that is very nice. What I will say is that I did need to spread the ingredients out over two trays and cook for longer in order to get things crispy &/or a bit charred. Plus the chicken exudes juices which will stop the rest from crisping up if not separated out. However, even if it doesn’t totally work as a one-pan traybake, I still highly recommend this.
Thanks for your feedback Alison!
