Sprinkle the cooked chicken and vegetables with chopped fresh herbs and serve with lemon wedges to squeeze over the top.

Recipe testing notes from Taesha:

  • You can use chicken breasts. I really like using chicken thighs for this recipe because they cook in the same time as the vegetables without drying out. However, you can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of thighs in the recipe with a few adjustments. To use chicken breasts, cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces. Roast the vegetables on their own for about 20 minutes then place the marinated chicken on top of the vegetables and roast until the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 18 additional minutes.
  • If you don’t want to use mustard, you can leave it out or use mayo or plain yogurt instead. (It not only adds a lot of flavor but helps all the seasonings to stick to the chicken.)
  • Feel free to use any root vegetables you have in this recipe. Sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and butternut squash will work well too.

Serving suggestions

  • Serve the sheet pan meal as is or over greens, such as baby arugula or spinach. Or enjoy on it’s own!
  • The chicken and veggies are great served with homemade yogurt ranch dressing or you can also double the marinade recipe, and reserve half to use that as a sauce or dressing to drizzle over the finished dish.
