You can never have enough one pan dinner recipes, right? Especially this time of year when it is beautiful outside and you don't want to waste time cleaning up! This is a spicy dinner but you can definitely adjust it to suite your taste. Add more cajun seasoning for a spicier version and add less if you don’t like too much heat. one_pan_cajun_chicken_dinner6 Ingredients:
  • 5 chicken breasts
  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes, diced into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 Tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 bell pepper, diced into 1-inch pieces (or half of 2 colors)
  • 1/2 medium red onion, diced into 1-inch pieces
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  Cajun seasoning ingredients:
  • 2 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 - 1 tsp cayenne pepper, to taste
  Directions:
  • Whisk all cajun seasoning ingredients together in a small bowl or toss together well in a small resealable bag. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place chicken on a large rimmed baking sheet and drizzle and rub 1 Tbsp of the olive oil evenly over thighs. Sprinkle with cajun seasoning to taste (~ 1 Tbsp total). Rotate to opposite side and drizzle and rub tops with another 1 Tbsp olive oil. Season with cajun seasoning to taste (I did 1/2 Tbsp).
  • Toss potatoes with 2 Tbsp olive oil and season with cajun seasoning to taste (I did 2 tsp) and toss. Transfer potatoes to baking sheet placing them around chicken thighs. Roast in preheated oven 20-25 minutes then remove from oven and add bell pepper and red onion over potatoes and toss, then return to oven and roast about 10 - 15 minutes longer until chicken is golden and cooked through and potatoes are tender (you can broil during last few minutes to help brown a little more if desired). Serve warm sprinkled with parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste as desired.
