Best Horseradish Chicken Butternut Squash And Zucchini Sheet Pan Dinner Recipes

SHEET PAN THANKSGIVING CORNISH HEN DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Spray a large sheet pan with cooking spray.
• Arrange potatoes, carrots, and onion on the sheet pan in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning on top.
• Mix butter and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning together until well blended.
• Rinse hens well, inside and out, under cool running water. Remove bag from inside the cavity. Pat the hens dry with paper towels. Season the cavity with salt and pepper. Make a pocket between the skin and the meat with your fingers, being careful not to rip the skin.
• Divide butter mixture between the hens and place it between the breast meat and skin. Place hens on top of the potato and onion mixture. Season the outsides with salt, pepper, and remaining Italian seasoning. Place lemon inside the cavity of the hen. Pour chicken broth into the bottom of the sheet pan.
• Roast in the preheated oven until hens are nicely browned, 35 to 45 minutes. Tent the hens with foil during the last few minutes of cooking to prevent overbrowning, if needed. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.
• Meanwhile, drain about 1/2 cup of the pan drippings from beneath the vegetables into a small saucepan to start the gravy. Bring to a boil. Mix flour and cold water together and add to the pan drippings, whisking until desired consistency is reached. Serve gravy alongside Cornish hens.

• Sprinkle chicken breasts with rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place on one side of the baking sheet; brush with mustard mixture. Place butternut squash on the other side of the baking sheet; drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; toss until well coated.
• Roast in the preheated oven until squash is tender and chicken is golden, 35 to 40 minutes. Baste chicken with mustard mixture several times during roasting.

MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN SHEET PAN DINNER

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Whisk olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, vinegar, tarragon, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Add chicken thighs, onion, baby bell peppers, and potatoes. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
• Transfer vegetable-chicken mixture to the prepared baking sheet and spread in an even layer. Scatter lemon slices over the vegetables, making sure to leave the chicken uncovered so that the skin will brown.
• Bake in preheated oven for about 40 minutes. Remove from oven and top with feta, parsley, and olives.

• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Turn on the oven's broiler. Broil until vegetables are lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
