Fall One Pan Meal with Chicken

I’ve been making a lot of one pan meals lately. They are healthy, easy to make, and delicious. This fall one pan meal with chicken has a lot of flavors that I personally associate with the season. This turned out great and I hope you’ll try it too!

What flavors remind you of fall? Some of mine are sweet potatoes, pecans, craisins, rosemary and sage. You will find all those flavors in this dish.

I used:  five chicken tenders, one sweet potato, broccoli, red onion, pecans, and craisins.  

First, peel and dice the sweet potato. You can also buy already peeled and diced sweet potatoes to save yourself even more time.  Next, cut the broccoli into small florets. Again, you can buy this already done for you if you’d like. It’s usually cheaper to buy broccoli crowns and do it yourself. Now slice the red onion into thin slices. Cut the chicken tenders into bite sized pieces.

Put everything into a large bowl and add fresh minced garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper, and a generous amount of rosemary and sage – because those flavors seem like fall to me.  See full recipe below.

Thoroughly mix, making sure everything is coated in the olive oil, garlic and seasonings.  Lightly grease a large cookie sheet and put all your veggies and chicken on it and bake at 400 for about 30 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked.  At about 20 minutes, I added the pecans and craisins and let them cook with everything for the last 10 minutes.  This gives the pecans a chance to toast.  

While everything is cooking, heat about 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar on the stove and let it simmer until it has reduced a bit and thickens up.  Pour the vinegar over the top when you take it out of the oven and mix it all up.  This is a healthy, delicious, easy meal to prepare and it tastes like fall on a plate!  It looks really pretty too. Serve with a good Italian bread if you’d like.
