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.

Yummy!! I love sheet pan dinners, they are so quick and easy to make, and minimal cleanup after. This recipe is fantastic!
This is really delicious. The juices from the meat and the herbs and seasonings mingle together with delightful results. Definitely leave space around the chicken so that it can brown nicely. I use two sheet pans and double the recipe. The fresh rosemary adds so much flavor. My kids love broccoli so I use that and I add a few quartered small potatoes for my husband who prefers them to the sweet potatoes. Thank you for the recipe over made it multiple times.
Yum!! Tender, juicy chicken & tasty, tender veggies are the best!! My kind of meal! Easy, healthier, & delicious!
