Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425º Fahrenheit (220º Celsius)
In a bowl stir together the chicken stock, white wine vinegar, capers, chopped parsley, diced shallots and crushed garlic.
On a 18x13 inch sheet pan* place the baby potatoes and quartered artichoke hearts and pour the sauce over top and use your hands to toss the veggies so they are well coated. Arrange the lemon slices and chicken thighs around the tray.
Rub the top of the chicken thighs with olive oil and season each with salt and pepper. Place the tray in the oven to bake for 18 minutes.
After 18 minutes of cooking remove the tray from the oven and arrange the pieces of asparagus around the tray. Spoon any sauce from the tray overtop of the chicken and veggies and return to the oven to cook for a further 7 minutes until the potatoes and asparagus are tender and the chicken is cooked through. Garnish with a sprinkle of parsley before serving. Optional: Turn the oven to broil and cook for 1-2 minutes, this will give the chicken a nice golden crispy skin.
