The way I work and the way I develop recipes is just chaos. This recipe is the perfect example. Sometimes I’ll start a recipe and I just get bored. It’s not flavorful enough or too similar to something I’ve already made. There are so many reasons I don’t follow through with every recipe I set out to make.

But it’s the recipes that I sit and stare at, then frantically develop because I’m always in a time crunch, that are my favorites.

I did just that with this sheet pan dinner. It was chaos, it involved a trip to the store, and made me stressed. But, I’m happy to say, I’m so excited to share this very easy, but oh-so flavorful recipe with you all. I just know it’s going to be one of my new go-to’s.

The beauty of a sheet pan dinner is that typically, they’re pretty darn easy to throw together. It’s why we love them so much! But what’s special about this specific sheet pan dinner? Well, cooking everything together on one pan actually allows for more flavor to penetrate everything from the chicken to the potatoes, and all the yummy crispy chickpeas.

And really, this sheet pan dinner is simple. The main ingredient is Moroccan Harissa sauce. I usually buy mine at Whole Foods, but most major grocery stores carry the jarred red sauce.

It’s made of peppers and middle eastern spices. We love it.

Here are the details

Add the chicken to a large sheet pan, I usually use a mix of similar size breasts and thighs. Rub them with olive oil and then the harissa sauce, yellow curry powder, honey, salt, and pepper.

To the same sheet pan, add the sweet potatoes, chickpeas, shallots, garlic, and a few pats of butter, plus the juice from a lemon.

Throw the pan in the oven to roast. One and done, EASY.

While the chicken and potatoes cook, I like to mix olives with a handful of fresh herbs and lemon juice. It’s a tangy fresh topping that really enhances a sheet pan dinner.

If you want to add even more flavor, chop up the roasted garlic and lemon from the sheet pan and mix them in with the olives. I usually do this and it’s very yummy, so I highly recommend!

And that’s pretty much it. When the chicken comes out of the oven, I add the feta and olives. I like to let the feta sit on the pan and really soak up the flavors of the sauces.

With the potatoes already baked on the pan, I don’t find anything else is needed, which is so nice! Very simple dinners really are the best. Especially when they’re wholesome and full of color.

Oh wait, there is one more thing. You can also add a nice drizzle of tahini, I do really LOVE that.

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 425° F.
    2. On a large, rimmed baking sheet, toss the chicken with 2 tablespoons olive oil, harissa, curry powder, honey, and a pinch each of salt and pepper.

    So flavorful! This was absolutely delicious. I couldn’t find harissa but added some paprika, there were so many other bold flavors that it was still extremely tasty. Will be making this again!

    Another winner of a dish. Loved your Greek feta chicken bowl so I wanted to carry the tahini thread through to another meal — and picked this one. So glad I did. Complex flavours all tied together with that herb relish and the lemon tahini sauce. I would put that on anything! Thanks for a fabulous dinner!

  4. 5 stars
    So flavorful and a wonderful change in flavors from our usual meals! Some of my notes:
    – Used carrots, sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts (used 2 sheet pans for everything)
    – Added a bit of honey to the tahini dressing
    * The tahini dressing and herb relish could be used to make any dish better!*
    Thank you for another amazing recipe, Tieghan!
