This chicken sheet pan dinner is a great way to enjoy seasonal veggies. Get dinner on the table in less than an hour and with only one pan!
I love when I can get dinner on the table quickly and easily - especially when I can do it with just one pan! It's no secret I love sheet pan dinners. I shared one here just a couple of weeks ago and I'm back with this take on chicken thighs that are sure to get everyone around the table.
The great thing about this Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner is that it's so versatile! You can tailor it to what might be in season at the time. For fall, I love these root veggies like the carrots and parsnips I used here, but you could also use potatoes and onions. Roasting vegetables always make them sweeter and bring out such rich flavor that just about anything you use will complement the chicken perfectly. Other great options might be squash, thick slices of zucchini, or even grape tomatoes and cauliflower. I would love it if you experimented and shared your results with me.
