One pan chicken dinner with lemon, garlic, oregano & paprika seasoned potatoes and brussels sprouts | Grain Free + Whole 30
Happy Halloween!
Have you carved your pumpkins and picked out your costumes yet?! It’s been a busy day up to this point, but I’m looking forward to sitting down with a bottle of cider and watching Hocus Pocus and whatever other Halloween themed film we can find. I’m too much of a wuss for actual horror films so I’m thinking Beetlejuice & the Nightmare Before Christmas.
May I now present to you the most un-Halloween food that you could possibly imagine on a day like this? True fact: the calories in snickers bars don’t count so long as your eat brussels sprouts first.
Don’t quote me on that.
One Pan Chicken Winner
I’m sure you’re all sorted in the candy department for today, but what about dinner?
Dinner is one meal that I always struggle with making no matter what day it is. I think by the end of the day I’m so done with cooking that I want the fastest/ easiest thing I can possibly make. Bonus point if it’s healthy too.
As far as prep goes for this dish it can’t get much easier than this. Aside from chopping your potatoes and sprouts everything can be done in one pan – just toss everything in seasoning and a touch of oil and then bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or until your done. In the end you’ll have perfectly tender potatoes and sprouts and slightly charred, crispy chicken skin coated in a healthy sprinkling of paprika & oregano.
Easy!

The spices are awesome, but the cooking time is wildly inaccurate. It’s not possible to roast the potatoes in 30 mins. I ended up having to take out the chicken after 35 mins and then the sprouts after 40mins. As I’m writing this, the potatoes are still in the oven. Very disappointed to have to spend my entire evening babysitting this recipe.
Anna says
Odd, after reading your post I was prepared to do the same, but everything cooked in 30 min for me.
Donna says
Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts?
Sarah Nevins says
Hi Donna! That should be fine! The brussels sprouts won’t probably won’t go crispy with the extra water from frozen but other than that it should be no problem!

Used boneless chicken tenders and this turned out so good!!! Even my toddler ate the meal!!
Sarah says
Yay! Glad you guys liked it!
Chris says
This is a great one pan meal!! My cooking time always turns out longer – closer to an hour for the potatoes to cook through – so I either remove the chicken when done and put back on for the broil stage or add about 30 minutes in after the potatoes are given a jump-start. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Sarah says
Thanks Chris! So glad you like it!
Jill says
I made this for dinner this evening and it is delicious! I did increase the garlic, but no other changes. The house smells yummy!
Sarah says
Yay! So glad you liked it! Thanks for coming back to let me know what you thought!
Carl says
Can the recipe be increased to serve four hungry adults and a toddler?
Sarah says
Hi Carl! As is it should be enough to feed four so I’d add an extra drumstick/thigh or two to the mix an that should be alright!
Jessica says
