 Harvest Sheet Pan Chicken Dinner

Loaded with fresh apples, sweet potatoes, brussels sprouts, red onions and fresh herbs this chicken sheet pan dinner is perfect for fall. For a touch of sweetness, lightly glaze the chicken thighs with maple syrup before cooking.

Ingredients Needed

• 2 pounds bone-in skin on chicken thighs
• 1 large sweet potato
• 2 apples
• 1 pound brussels sprouts
• red onion
• olive oil
• garlic
• fresh sage
• fresh rosemary
• fresh parsley
• maple syrup

What Kind of Sheet Pan to Use

One of the problems with sheet pan meals is that they often aren’t enough to feed a whole family. So you can either use two sheet pans, or try one of these big sheet pans that I have been loving. It’s 21×12 vs the standard 12×17. This allows for more food to feed a family of four to five. Even with a standard sheet pan dinner, these bigger pans allow more space for browning. This recipe will work with either a regular sized sheet pan or a bigger sheet pan.

Recipe Tips

• Before preparing the apples and vegetables, build the marinade for the chicken thighs and let them marinate at room temperature while prepping the rest of dinner.
• Dice vegetables and apples according to cooking time. Sweet potatoes should be cut smaller to cook quicker, while apple slices should be cut larger.
• If substituting dried herbs for fresh, reduce dried herbs to one teaspoon since they have a stronger flavor.
• Maple glaze is optional but adds a touch of sweetness to the chicken which is a nice contrast to the vegetables.
