We all love an easy dinner and we all want healthy dinners that taste great. Right!?
I’ve got you covered with this one pan recipe, Healthy BBQ Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner. It has tender chicken thighs roasted together with sweet potatoes, onions, brussel sprouts, and carrots.
After the veggies and chicken are roasted in the oven you drizzle everything with a homemade BBQ Vinaigrette that is out of this world.
What is a Sheet Pan Dinner?
If you are not familiar with the One Pan – Sheet Pan Dinner trend you need to jump on board asap!
A sheet pan dinner is a complete meal, all cooked together in the oven, on one sheet pan. It will usually include your protein, starch, and vegetable. Which makes your dinner time super easy.
