Sheet Pan Spring Chicken Dinner image

This recipe is sponsored by Kohl's. Lots of bright spring flavors come together in this easy sheet pan dinner. The chicken bathes in a fresh herby lemon marinade before joining scallions as well as rainbow carrots and fingerling potatoes in the oven. While the colorful spread is roasting, you can whip up a tangy Dijon sauce spiked with parsley and dill to drizzle over the whole dish.

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, grated
8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (2 1/2 to 3 pounds)
1 pound baby rainbow carrots, tops trimmed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound rainbow fingerling or baby potatoes, halved lengthwise
1 bunch scallions, cut into thirds
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • For the chicken and spring vegetables: Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, dill, parsley and garlic together in a large bowl. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the marinade. Add the chicken to the bowl with the remaining marinade and toss to coat. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  • Toss the carrots and 1 tablespoon of the reserved marinade in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and put on a sheet pan, skin-side up. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Scatter the carrots around the chicken in a single layer; reserve the bowl. Roast the chicken and vegetables until the chicken turns opaque on the outside, about 15 minutes.
  • Toss the potatoes and scallions with the remaining 1 tablespoon marinade in the reserved bowl used for the carrots. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the sheet pan from the oven and scatter the potatoes and scallions in a single layer around the chicken. Continue to roast until the vegetables are tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken (avoiding the bone) registers 165 degrees F, about 30 minutes more.
  • For the Dijon herb sauce: Meanwhile, whisk together the Dijon and olive oil in a small bowl. Add the dill, parsley and 3 tablespoons cold water and whisk until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To serve, divide the chicken and vegetables among 4 plates and drizzle each with some of the sauce.

Time 20m

Yield 4 breasts, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
4 slices swiss cheese
4 slices black forest ham (thinly sliced)
1/2 cup Baby Spinach
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 lemon, zested and juiced
1/8 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Halve the chicken breasts horizontally separating each into 2 cutlets.
  • Place cutlets in a freezer plastic storage bag and pound into 1/8-inch thick cutlets.
  • Arrange the 4 cutlets on work surface. Season cutlets with salt and pepper on the side facing up. Cover each piece of chicken with 1 slice of ham and 1 slice of cheese. At the larger end of the breast, place a small bundle of baby spinach. Tightly wrap the chicken around the ham, cheese and spinach. The rolls should stay together, but if needed, secure with a toothpick.
  • Heat about 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, use tongs to add the chicken roll-ups to skillet with the seam side down. Season the roll-ups with salt and pepper.
  • Cover the pan loosely with tin foil and cook 4 to 5 minutes, turn roll-ups over and cook the other side 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the cooked roll ups to a serving plate. If toothpicks were used, remove the toothpicks before serving.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons flour to the pan used to cook the chicken, stirring well until there are no lumps.
  • Slowly stir in the chicken stock, Dijon mustard, and lemon zest, scraping up any drippings from the bottom of the pan. Simmer 1 minute.
  • Remove pan from the heat, add the lemon juice and parsley and spoon over chicken.
