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.
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. If you like sheet pan dinners as much as I do, take a look at these recipes.
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 with dinners like this, or I’ll bake a sweet potato to go with it.
Enjoy!

Instructions

- Arrange chicken on sheet pans amongst the vegetables. Rub with Dijon mustard.
- In a small bowl, mix together panko, 1 teaspoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon fresh dill. Divide evenly on top of chicken, pressing down to adhere crumbs to chicken.

I just made a sheet pan dinner the other night- chicken is perfect for sheet pan dinners. This looks delicious!
So perfect! Thanks Lori!
I love sheet pan dinners – seriously, is there anything easier? I also love radishes, but I have never roasted them, but now that’s about to change.
Nothing better than sheet pan dinners! I hope you love roasted radishes – it’s my favorite way to eat them.
Besides sheet pan dinners being the best thing ever, you roasted radishes with this one! Pretty much my favorite way to eat them ever :)
Thanks Gina! I agree – it’s the best way to eat radishes!
