One Pan Chicken Dinner

Weeknight · Chicken · 50 minutes

I don’t cook complicated food on weeknights. But I do make sure my family gets a nourishing, tasty, warm dinner most nights. This is one of those dishes — one pan, whatever vegetables you have, and everyone is happy.

Ingredients

  • Chicken thighs or legs, bone-in
  • Mixed vegetables — onion, carrots, cauliflower, potatoes, sweet potatoes, winter squash, fennel, bok choy, cabbage, garlic (use what you have)
  • Olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, lemon

Optional toppings

  • Za’atar (for cauliflower)
  • Sumac (for potatoes)
  • Pomegranate molasses or silan (for carrots & squash)
  • Balsamic vinegar (for cabbage)
  • Lemon (for bok choy)

Method

  1. Heat oven to 425°F.
  2. Peel and cut vegetables. Keep each type separate on the pan.
  3. Mix olive oil, paprika, salt, pepper, and juice of ½–1 lemon. Rub all over the chicken.
  4. Place chicken in the center of a well-oiled sheet pan. Arrange vegetables around it by type.
  5. Drizzle vegetables generously with olive oil, season with salt and pepper.
  6. Add the optional toppings to each vegetable as suggested, or use your own favorites.
  7. Roast 40–50 minutes until chicken hits 165°F and vegetables are golden.
  8. Optional: broil 2 minutes at the end for extra crisp.
