1 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 cup water

Sheet-Pan Chicken, Potatoes and Cauliflower image

There's nothing that says that a thrown-together dinner can't be impressive-you just need the right recipe. This simple meal is made up of easily accessible ingredients-chicken, potatoes, cauliflower and spinach-but with the right seasoning and the right method, the flavors go far beyond basic. Roasting on a sheet pan brings out deeper flavors and adds nice caramelization to chicken and veggies alike. As a bonus, it's an easily adaptable meal that can flex to fit the ingredients you have on hand. And after all is said and done, you only have one pan to clean up-even better!
