Sheet Pan Curried Chicken and Vegetables
2038 days ago
Skip to recipeI love sheet pan recipes for so many reasons. They are simple to prepare, do not require a ton of time in the kitchen and are filled with flavor. Not to mention, because it's all cooked on one pan, clean up is a breeze.
This Sheet Pan Curry Chicken and Vegetables recipe is one of my favorite dinners for a busy night. The touch of sweetness from the raisins, paired with the deep earthy flavor of curry, is combined with perfectly cooked veggies and chicken, making it a flavorful meal everyone will love.
When roasting vegetables on a sheet pan, cutting them uniformly will assist in even cooking. For example, this recipe calls for 1/2-inch red onion rings. When slicing the onion, use a sharp 7-5/8" Petite Chef or similar knife to cut the rings to the same width. Follow that same rule of thumb when cutting the carrots.
When breaking up the broccoli, use the tip of a Gourmet Prep Knife to cut off florets. The tip easily gets into the crevasses of the broccoli stalk for more control. Try to keep the florets as similarly sized as possible when cutting them away.
If you’re time-strapped, cut the veggies up a few days ahead of time and pull them out when you’re ready to roast.
