Comforting and filling: with chicken, gnocchi, and veggies, this one pan chicken dish is hearty enough for the whole family.
Key Ingredients for One Pan Chicken
For the full ingredient list and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Chicken thighs: juicy and flavorful, they stay tender during roasting.
- Brussels sprouts: roasted Brussels sprouts turn golden and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Shelf stable gnocchi: roasts beautifully alongside the chicken for a chicken and gnocchi combination that's satisfying and filling.
- Cherry tomatoes: added near the end for a burst of freshness.
- Everything but the Elote seasoning: a blend of spices with a hint of cheese flavor that ties everything together.
Ingredient Substitutions
- Swap chicken thighs with chicken breast if you prefer a leaner cut.
- Use baby potatoes instead of gnocchi for a classic roasted vegetable side.
- Replace cherry tomatoes with red bell peppers for a sweeter flavor.
Variations on Sheet Pan Chicken with Gnocchi
- Make it spicy by adding red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce before roasting.
- Try it with cauliflower or broccoli in place of Brussels sprouts.
- Add shredded parmesan or cotija cheese just before serving for extra richness.
Tips for Perfect Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Chicken
- Make sure the Brussels sprouts are cut evenly so they roat at the same rate.
- Don't overcrowd the sheet pan. This helps the chicken and Brussels sprouts roast properly for the best flavor.
- Add the tomatoes near the end to keep them from overcooking and getting mushy.
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350 degree oven until warmed through or use an air fryer for a few minutes to bring back crispness.
Serving Suggestions for Easy Chicken Recipes
Pair this sheet pan chicken dinner with a crisp side salad or enjoy it with warm bread such as my air fryer garlic knots. For dessert, finish the meal with a Cherry Berry Trifle, or a refreshing Pineapple Agua Fresca to sip alongside.
