  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, place the sweet potatoes and cauliflower evenly on the baking sheet and put in the oven for 30-40 min, flipping when about halfway done so they brown evenly.
  • While the veggies are in the oven, cut the chicken breasts in halves, add remaining olive oil to a pan and then add the chicken, next add the butter so that it melts in with the olive oil while the chicken is cooking and cook over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with a little bit of salt and pepper. When the chicken has browned on one side, flip it, and add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of chicken broth, the red vinegar and the remaining thyme leaves. Cook until the liquid has cooked down and reduced in half and the chicken is done cooking. To serve spoon a little of the sauce over the veggies and chicken on the plate.

There's nothing that says that a thrown-together dinner can't be impressive-you just need the right recipe. This simple meal is made up of easily accessible ingredients-chicken, potatoes, cauliflower and spinach-but with the right seasoning and the right method, the flavors go far beyond basic. Roasting on a sheet pan brings out deeper flavors and adds nice caramelization to chicken and veggies alike. As a bonus, it's an easily adaptable meal that can flex to fit the ingredients you have on hand. And after all is said and done, you only have one pan to clean up-even better!

  • Serve the chicken and vegetables with your favorite sides. This dish can be served with rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
