The expression “sheet pan dinner” basically means that all the ingredients for your entire meal get cooked in one pan at the same time. Feel free to swap the chicken out for pork loin or chops if that’s what you have in the fridge, and any combination of vegetables will work. —Let’s Eat: Recipes for Kids Who Cook, DL Acken and Aurelia Louvet, TouchWood Editions.
1lb(450 g) Yukon Gold or new unpeeled potatoes, cut into 1–2-inch (2.5–5 cm pieces)
1red bell peppercut into bite-size pieces
1broccoli crownchopped into bite-size florets
1organic lemoncut into 6 wedges
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, honey, garlic, rosemary, and salt. Add the chicken, sausages, potatoes, red peppers, broccoli florets, and lemon wedges. Using a pair of tongs, toss the ingredients, making sure all the pieces are covered with the dressing. Cover the bowl and put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.
When you’re ready to cook, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Use one that has sides at least ½ inch (1.25 cm) high. Arrange the ingredients in a single layer in the baking sheet. Scrape out any remaining marinade from the bowl and pour it over the chicken and vegetables. Place the tray on the middle rack in the oven. Bake until a meat thermometer inserted into the chicken reads at least 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender, 50–60 minutes. Using oven mitts, remove from the oven and turn off the heat. Divide the food on the tray evenly among six plates.
