EASY SHEET-PAN CHICKEN



Easy Sheet-Pan Chicken image

Crisp-skinned and very juicy, this is a more sophisticated version of the crumb-coated, oven-fried chicken dishes of childhood. In addition to bread crumbs, the chicken is slathered with two kinds of mustard plus fresh thyme and minced garlic, which makes it deeply flavored, bright and complex. And because it calls for only one pan, clean up is minimal. While the recipe calls for bone-in drumsticks and/or thighs, if you prefer boneless white meat, feel free to substitute it, reducing the cooking time by 5 to 10 minutes. Serve this with potatoes - either sweet or white - and your favorite green vegetable or salad. It's weeknight cooking at its finest.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
2 teaspoons chopped thyme leaves
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3 pounds bone-in chicken thighs or drumsticks (or a mixture), patted dry
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2/3 cup plain dried bread crumbs
Olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, combine whole-grain mustard, thyme leaves, garlic cloves, butter and Dijon mustard.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. Rub mustard butter mixture all over chicken (some might fall off but that's O.K.). Place bread crumbs in a wide, shallow bowl, then coat the chicken evenly with bread crumbs. Transfer chicken to a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Bake until chicken is golden and no longer pink, 35 to 40 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose a flavorful marinade: The marinade is essential for infusing flavor into the chicken and vegetables. Use a combination of herbs, spices, and citrus juices to create a marinade that complements the other ingredients in the dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the sheet pan: Make sure there is enough space between the chicken and vegetables so that they can cook evenly. Overcrowding the sheet pan will result in steamed food instead of roasted.
  • Roast at a high temperature: High heat will help to caramelize the chicken and vegetables and give them a crispy texture. Roast the chicken and vegetables at 400 degrees Fahrenheit or higher for best results.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of vegetables. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, zucchini, bell peppers, and potatoes.
  • Season the vegetables well: Just like the chicken, the vegetables need to be seasoned well in order to taste their best. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.

Conclusion:

Sheet pan chicken is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is also a healthy meal that is packed with protein and vegetables. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your sheet pan chicken is delicious and flavorful every time.
