This Easy Meaty Sheet Pan Dinner is a fantastic way to whip up a hearty meal with minimal cleanup. Using a single sheet pan, you can cook chicken thighs alongside potatoes and your choice of non-starchy vegetables, making it a perfect weeknight dinner for the whole family.

Nicole McLaughlin from Allrecipes shares her simple formula for sheet pan dinners, emphasizing the ease of preparation and the delicious caramelization that comes from high-heat roasting.

Ingredient notes

  • 1 lb of potatoes is approximately 450g.

Tips from Allrecipes’s video
