Sheet Pan Chicken Dinner

"This dish was originally going to be sautéed chicken with a mixed veg side dish until it occurred to me that I could use half as many dishes, make a third of the effort and get the same result – a chicken dinner. But actually it turned out to be quite an outstanding chicken dinner. Whatever you say about chicken, it’s easy to cook. There’s no worry, like with beef, that you’ll overcook it because it’s good until seriously burnt. It’s not like pork: a fine line between cooked through and dry. No dilemmas of ‘whole or fillets?’ like with fish, and it’s so, so much cheaper than lamb. Also, at the end of the day, roast chicken is everybody’s favourite dinner, especially the death row inmates."
