Description

An easy, flavorful sheet pan dinner featuring smoky chipotle-seasoned chicken thighs roasted alongside tender broccoli for a quick and healthy meal.


Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle seasoning or adobo sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped cilantro for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a small bowl, mix chipotle seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper to form a rub.
  3. Pat chicken thighs dry and rub the seasoning mixture all over them. Place on one side of the sheet pan.
  4. Toss broccoli florets with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on the other side of the sheet pan.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F internally and broccoli is tender and slightly charred.
  6. Squeeze lime juice over everything before serving. Garnish with cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • For extra spice, add more chipotle seasoning or fresh chopped chipotle peppers.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free; ensure your seasonings are certified if needed.
  • Chicken can be marinated in the rub for up to 2 hours in the fridge for more flavor.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
