Simply place on the sheet pan, bake in the oven and pair with a side salad for an easy balanced meal. These sheet-pan chicken thigh dinners make for quick cleanup and are packed with veggies like Brussels sprouts, broccoli and peppers. Recipes like Roasted Chicken Thighs, Potatoes & Scallions with Herb Vinaigrette and Sheet-Pan Balsamic-Parmesan Chicken & Vegetables are flavorful, satisfying dinners you'll want to make again and again. 01 of 20 Sheet-Pan Balsamic-Parmesan Chicken & Vegetables View Recipe This flavorful dish—with the combination of balsamic vinegar and Parmesan cheese—makes a great weeknight meal since it requires little legwork (and only one pan!). The marjoram adds a distinct earthy aroma. If you don't have marjoram in your spice arsenal, you can use dried oregano instead. Both have a woodsy flavor that complements the dish beautifully. 02 of 20 Parmesan Chicken & Brussels Sprouts View Recipe Jacob Fox Parmesan and breadcrumbs combine for a crispy chicken topping without having to go through the full dredging process. While your oven's on, roast some potatoes to serve alongside for a balanced, filling meal. 03 of 20 Sheet-Pan Garlic-Soy Chicken & Vegetables View Recipe Photographer / Brie Passano, Food Stylist / Annie Probst, Prop Stylist / Holly Raibikis This easy dish comes together quickly and is cooked all on one baking sheet. Putting the pan in the oven while it preheats makes it hot enough to lightly sear the chicken and vegetables, adding texture and flavor and also reducing the cook time. Chicken thighs emerge from the oven succulent and coated in the savory sauce (with less salt because of the low-sodium soy sauce) and fragrant from the garlic, ginger and scallions. We recommend serving this with brown rice or whole-wheat noodles. 04 of 20 Honey-Garlic Chicken Thighs with Carrots and Broccoli View Recipe This sweet and savory baked honey-garlic chicken thigh recipe comes with a side of veggies that cook on the same sheet pan as the chicken for the perfect weeknight dinner. 05 of 20 Salt & Vinegar Sheet-Pan Chicken & Brussels Sprouts View Recipe A strong vinegar, like malt or sherry, gives this baked chicken recipe a pucker factor reminiscent of salt-and-vinegar chips. Everything cooks on one pan, making this chicken sheet-pan dinner perfect for weeknights when you want big results for little effort (so, pretty much every weeknight!). 06 of 20 Sheet-Pan Chicken Thighs with Brussels Sprouts & Gnocchi View Recipe In this healthy dinner recipe, chicken thighs, Brussels sprouts, cherry tomatoes and packaged gnocchi are all roasted on the same sheet pan for a complete meal that couldn't be easier to make. And though it's simple, this dish gets tons of flavor from seasonings, including garlic, oregano and red-wine vinegar. It all adds up to a dish that's ready to go into heavy weeknight rotation in your house. 07 of 20 Roasted Chicken Thighs & Radishes with Lemon Crème Fraîche View Recipe Jacob Fox Roasting radishes helps mellow out their spiciness. We reduce food waste by using their tops, too—they add color and a slightly bitter bite. If your radishes come without tops, sub in another dark leafy green, such as chopped kale. 08 of 20 Roasted Chicken Thighs, Potatoes & Scallions with Herb Vinaigrette View Recipe Roasting chicken thighs directly on top of the vegetables bastes the scallions and potatoes with delicious drippings in this healthy dinner recipe. Serve with steamed broccoli, sautéed spinach or a mixed green salad. 09 of 20 Roast Za'atar Chicken Thighs with Broccoli & Potatoes View Recipe Greg DuPree The broiler is the key to getting this za'atar chicken golden in color without overcooking the meat—after the chicken roasts, the broiler blasts the top, crisping the skin. 10 of 20 Paprika Chicken Thighs with Brussels Sprouts View Recipe In this healthy chicken recipe, paprika-rubbed chicken thighs are nestled into Brussels sprouts and shallots and roasted on a sheet pan in the oven for an easy, healthy dinner. As the chicken thighs roast, the garlicky drippings flavor the Brussels sprouts and shallots. Delicious one-pan cooking! Smoked paprika adds a touch of smoky flavor—look for it at well-stocked supermarkets or in the bulk-spice section at natural foods markets. Regular paprika can be used in its place but doesn't add the hint of smoke. 11 of 20 Honey-Harissa Chicken Thighs View Recipe Jacob Fox Harissa, a hot chile pepper paste that hails from northern Africa, adds tons of flavor and shines when it's combined with honey to make a sweet coating slathered on chicken thighs. Serve with brown rice and roasted carrots. 12 of 20 Easy Sesame Chicken with Green Beans View Recipe Sweet-salty hoisin sauce and nutty sesame team up in this easy meal that's cooked on one baking sheet. Serve this sesame chicken with brown rice and sliced cucumbers, drizzled with sesame oil and rice vinegar. 13 of 20 Roast Chicken & Sweet Potato View Recipe Healthy chicken and sweet potato recipes are always a delicious and reliable choice for dinner. This low-calorie sheet-pan meal combines chicken thighs and sweet potatoes and cooks up fast in a very hot oven. Serve with a fall salad of mixed greens, sliced apples and blue cheese. 14 of 20 Sheet-Pan Chicken & Vegetables with Romesco Sauce View Recipe Romesco sauce, a classic Mediterranean sauce made with roasted peppers, nuts, garlic and olive oil, is a delicious accompaniment to fish, grilled vegetables, omelets and this one-pan meal of roasted chicken and vegetables. Potatoes, broccoli and chicken thighs all roast together while you make the quick and easy sauce for a fast one-dish meal that's mouthwateringly delicious. 15 of 20 Crispy Lemon-Garlic Chicken Thighs with Roasted Potatoes & Carrots View Recipe Panko breadcrumbs make this healthy lemon-garlic chicken super crispy on the outside, while a bit of mayonnaise amps up the juiciness of the thighs. And everything—including fingerling potatoes and carrots—cooks on one sheet pan, so this healthy dinner is super easy to prep and clean up after too. You can swap out the potatoes and carrots for other vegetables, such as broccoli and parsnips, but just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly. 16 of 20 Chicken Shawarma with Potatoes View Recipe Cook once; eat thrice: This chicken shawarma recipe makes a satisfying single-serving dinner, plus extra chicken, potatoes and onions that you can use later in the week. 17 of 20 Maple-Roasted Chicken Thighs with Sweet Potato Wedges and Brussels Sprouts View Recipe This easy sheet-pan recipe brings together many fall favorites into a hearty dinner. 18 of 20 Sheet-Pan Sesame Chicken & Broccoli with Scallion-Ginger Sauce View Recipe In this healthy sheet-pan chicken recipe, meaty bone-in chicken thighs and broccoli florets are tossed with sesame oil and roasted on the same pan for a delicious and easy dinner with minimal cleanup. While the chicken and broccoli cook, whip together the simple scallion-ginger sauce. The sauce would also be wonderful spooned over salmon, tofu or grain bowls; it is easily doubled or tripled! 19 of 20 Broiled Ginger-Lime Chicken View Recipe Flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and lime, this marinated chicken recipe is a favorite in the EatingWell Test Kitchen. Serve with rice or couscous and black beans. 20 of 20 5-Ingredient Roasted Lemon Chicken & Vegetables View Recipe Photographer: Brie Goldman, Food Stylist: Addelyn Evans, Prop Stylist: Gabriel Greco This lemony baked chicken thigh recipe has only five ingredients and comes with a side of veggies that roast alongside the chicken for a complete weeknight dinner.
