Notes on canvas pan harvest chicken and veggies:

I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts but you could sub boneless craven thighs if you prefer. You may simply need to increase the cooking time until they achieve an internal temperature of 165.
If you take really big craven breasts, you can do merely 2-3 and so slice them after they've cooked and rested, to stretch them out to 4 people.
You can use a regular onion or a red onion for this recipe. Both are succulent.
Y'all can substitute pecans for the walnuts if you'd like – or use your favorite nut.
I try to use fresh thyme, but you can substitute stale thyme. Or try some other herb like rosemary.

As well, I should annotation that nosotros are using TWO sheet pans for this meal. Trust me, it's the way to go.

You want to keep the veggies together on their own sheet pan so they have enough of room too spread out in an fifty-fifty layer. That style they roast and don't steam.

The chicken needs to be separated on another sail pan. The craven breasts tin can requite off water and you don't want that to ruin your roasted veggies by getting them soggy.

Plus, there's not enough room for everything on one pan. (Unless you're halving the recipe and even so, I'd yet use 2 to avoid the soggy roasted veggie situation.)

And to be sure, you definitely need a rimmed baking canvas. This i is inexpensive and sturdy.

Also, while I remember the Dijon and paprika coating on the chicken adds great season, it's non necessary. I've made this before without it (just seasoning the chicken breasts) and the chicken was nonetheless succulent.

And because I honey sheet pan meals and so much, I wanted to share some of my other favorites. Cheque them out! 👇

But dorsum to this i here today… cause information technology'south prepare to serve! 👇

I hope you give this easy harvest chicken dinner a effort to welcome in fall and to make dinnertime like shooting fish in a barrel!
