Baked Chicken with Potatoes

Baked chicken with potatoes is the kind of dinner that takes almost no active effort but still feels like a proper meal. Everything cooks on a single sheet pan: the chicken releases fat and juices that the potatoes soak up, while garlic, rosemary, and lemon perfume the whole pan as it roasts.

Thighs and drumsticks work better here than breast meat — dark meat stays juicy through a longer roast, and the skin crisps up nicely as long as the pieces are arranged skin-side up and the pan isn’t covered.

Few foods spark as much debate over calorie content as the potato: some treat it as a harmless side dish, others blame it for weight gain. The truth leans much closer to the first camp, especially when it comes to potatoes boiled plain, without butter or other rich add-ons.

Basic calorie count

Plain boiled potatoes, whether cooked in their skins or peeled, without added fat or salt, run around 80-90 calories per 100 g. For comparison, that’s noticeably less than rice or pasta by the same cooked weight, and far less than fried potatoes, where calories can climb 2-3x higher just from absorbed oil. A medium boiled potato weighing about 150 g comes in around 120-135 calories — a fairly modest number as side dishes go.
