Autumn Chicken Dinner is a warm, one-pan meal that combines juicy chicken with seasonal vegetables like sweet potatoes, apples, and Brussels sprouts. Roasted with herbs, garlic, and a hint of maple or cider, it’s a cozy and comforting dish perfect for fall.

Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in or boneless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme or rosemary (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 apples (Honeycrisp or Fuji), sliced
  • 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or apple cider vinegar (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon or smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a large sheet pan or oven-safe skillet.
  2. In a bowl, toss sweet potatoes, apples, Brussels sprouts, and onion with 1 tbsp olive oil, garlic, herbs, salt, pepper, and maple syrup or vinegar if using.
  3. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and cinnamon or paprika if desired. Drizzle with remaining olive oil.
  4. Arrange chicken among the vegetables on the baking sheet or skillet.
  5. Roast for 35–40 minutes, flipping vegetables halfway through, until chicken reaches 165°F and veggies are tender and caramelized.
  6. Let rest a few minutes before serving. Optional: drizzle with balsamic glaze or top with cranberries or pecans.

Notes

  • Use boneless chicken breasts for a leaner option.
  • Dot with butter before roasting for added richness.
  • Swap Brussels sprouts for green beans, or sweet potatoes for butternut squash.
  • For more texture, add cranberries or pecans in the last 10 minutes.
  • Drizzle with balsamic glaze for a flavor boost.
