When life gets busy, I always turn to my trusty sheet pan recipes. This Middle Eastern inspired chicken dinner is a favorite in our house because it brings together bright flavors and hearty vegetables without needing a million dishes to clean up afterward.

The secret is letting the spices really coat the chicken and veggies while they roast together in the oven. It is simple enough for a Tuesday night but tasty enough that everyone will ask for seconds.

🧺 Ingredients

1.5 pounds chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, cumin, coriander, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3
Place the chicken, onion wedges, bell pepper, and zucchini on a large rimmed baking sheet.
4
Pour the spice mixture over everything and use your hands or tongs to toss until well coated.
5
Spread the ingredients out in a single layer so everything cooks evenly.
