Crispy Chicken Thighs with Dijon and Dill {sheet pan dinner}

Crispy chicken thighs baked with Dijon and dill are great on their own, but with the addition of roasted green beans and radishes, you have a perfect springtime sheet pan dinner. 

It’s no secret that I’m obsessed with my sheet pans. Roasted vegetables basically make my world go ’round. Roasted broccoli is the only way to eat broccoli, roasted carrots are sweet and flavorful, mushrooms gain depth and texture, squash shines, and the list goes on and on! When my apple Gouda stuffed chicken sheet pan dinner turned out to be wildly popular right out of the gate, it became clear that more sheet pan dinners were necessary.

I’m excited to be teaming up with Just BARE^® chicken again this year to bring you this recipe. Just BARE chicken has been a partner with Rachel Cooks for a few years now and it’s because I love the brand’s chicken. Their chicken are raised without antibiotics, they are vegetable and grain fed, hand-trimmed, and traceable to the family farm they came from — pretty great, right?

This chicken is a springtime win. Radishes transform into sweet and tangy nuggets when roasted, roasted green beans are irresistible, and the crispy panko coating on the juicy chicken is what will keep you coming back for more.

The beauty of sheet pan dinners like this one is that you only make ONE PAN dirty. Well, two in this case. You could probably get by with one if you really hate dishes, but the trick to roasting vegetables is to give them lots of room to breath so they get brown and crispy and not soggy and steamed.

This dinner is great on its own as a light meal, or you could bulk it up with a tossed salad. Sometimes I make some brown rice for Ben with dinners like this, or I’ll bake a sweet potato to go with it.

Enjoy!
