By now you know my love for one pan meals.  I probably make more of them than I blog and that’s because by the time I can grab the camera and stage for the dish, someone has already decided it was dinnertime and half the meal is on a plate being eaten.  This was one of those meals.  I purposely didn’t announce that dinner would be on the table in a few minutes until I took the photos.  Success!

This Sheet Pan Roasted Chicken and Vegetables is the best not only because it tastes so good but it’s simple to prep and cook.  Clean up is a breeze since you will only be cooking on one pan.  I realize not many people are overly fond of Brussels sprouts but I maintain it’s because you either haven’t tried them or you haven’t been cooking them correctly.  I grew up on steamed veggies or heated up from a can (nothing wrong there!) but once I got married and left to cook on my own I tried roasting various vegetables and loved it!  I still steam vegetables, Brussels sprouts too, but they tastes so much better roasted.  The olive oil and the roasting method just brings out so much flavor from whatever vegetable you are using.

Still not convinced of eating Brussels sprouts? No worries, change out the vegetables to carrots, green beans, or whatever!  You may have to adjust the cooking time you put them on the sheet pan to cook but it will still be a one pan meal.  My family are “potato” people.  If I make this meal without potatoes, they seem to wait for them to appear before deciding I have lost my mind and forgot.

The dressing for this meal is simply lemon juice, olive oil, thyme, and garlic.  Chicken and lemon.  It’s perfect.

  1. I love how this very delish dish takes only one pan 😀 I also find that Brussels sprouts taste and smell a lot better roasted or cooked in a slow cooker. They’re quite plain when steamed.

    1. I didn’t even think about the smell when steaming Brussels Sprouts until you mentioned it…yes they sure do smell better when roasted!! I haven’t tried them in the slow cooker..do you have a particular recipe for that?

  2. This is heaven-sent. I am struggling with work and house chores due to multiple events this month. I am looking for quick, simple and healthy meals to make. This is indeed perfect for busy nights. Thank you.
