I know you are all super busy so I have a quick and easy dinner for you! This Sheet Pan Chicken and Brussel Sprouts is a no-brainer winner of a chicken dinner that will please even the pickiest eaters in your house. {gluten free, paleo, whole30, keto}
Happy Monday everyone! So glad you are here for more quick and easy dinner ideas.
Sheet pan dinners are an absolute life saver in my house. I am so busy these days with blog traffic picking up and the holidays right around the corner. In fact, things are so busy here at Seasonal Cravings that I'm looking to hire a VA. If anyone is interested in helping me with some simple management tasks, let me know in the comments below.
I don't know about you but it's almost impossible to get dinner on the table every night. That's why we sometimes have canned soup or chicken nuggets. Yes, I am a food blogger and I do feed my kids chicken nuggets on a regular basis. I'm only human!

Enter the sheet pan dinner. It a weeknight wonder for sure. Take this Sheet Pan Chicken with Brussel Sprouts.
Get some chicken thighs (bc they have more flavor and don't get dried out like skinless, boneless breasts.) Dose them with olive oil and herbs de Provence. Throw in some veggies cut in similar sizes. Dose those in olive oil and herbs de Provence. Roast at high heat and watch the magic happen.
Look how brown that chicken skin gets and the outside layers of the sprouts. That brown in not burn; it's magic. It gives the sprouts and carrots so much flavor that even your pickiest kiddos can't resist them. It's like candy vegetables (well...almost!)
Here are some more of my favorite sheet pan dinners!

I couldn't agree more about blog things getting so busy right now, it's hard to keep up with everything AND make dinner each night! This is so perfect for the hectic nights -- plus that chicken skin looks DELICIOUS!
Karen @ Seasonal Cravings says
Three cheers for chicken skin!
Cheyanne @ No Spoon Necessary says
I'm totally laughing over here, because while we don't have human children (just fur babies), I feed my husband nuggets! LOL! Sheet pan meals are great, but especially this time of year when life is crazy! I am loving this one!! Brussels are one of my favorite things ever, so you can bet I'll be adding this meal to our rotation!! Cheers, friend!
Karen @ Seasonal Cravings says
Ha chicken nuggets aren't so bad!

These are definitely the days for quick and easy dinners! I mean, how many times can I give my hubby cereal for dinner? This looks superb!!
Karen @ Seasonal Cravings says
Love cereal for dinner!

Quick and easy is the name of the game right now. This looks just perfect!

Thanks dear!

You hit the nail on the head - I feed my fiance popcorn chicken nuggets probably once a week and I'm not even ashamed about it. I've found that it's easy to big batch cook on the weekends when I have some free time and freeze the leftovers in little individual containers so they can be heated up during the week. AND I totally feel you on needing a VA - I work full time and try to blog in my "spare time" but it's proving to be really difficult to swing both. I tried to talk my younger sister into managing my social channels to no avail!
On the upside, this sheet pan dinner sounds so amazing and perfectly simple so I don't get scolded for feeding my husband-to-be chicken nuggets again!

I know I had my daughter do some stuff on Instagram the other day and she was so good at it. She taught me a few shortcuts. If only she didn't have so much homework...
