Roasted Chicken and Vegetables

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Shaw’s Supermarket. All opinions are 100% mine.

Roasted Chicken and Vegetables recipe is an easy sheet pan dinner. Marinated chicken thighs, along with onion, squash, and Brussels sprouts tossed in herbs and bacon grease, are baked in the oven then sprinkled with bacon. It’s a dinner good for any night of the week.

I don’t care what time of year it is, easy dinners are where it’s at.

And, if you’re anything like me, you probably ask yourself that age-old question, “what am I going to make for dinner?” quite a bit, right?
Or maybe you’re a bit more organized than I am and meal plan for the week or enjoy some Pork Spare Ribs cooked long and slow.
Either way, this chicken recipe will serve you well.

One of the dinner sides my family loves most is roasted vegetables.
Seriously, they are just soooo good!
AND, we eat A LOT of chicken, so combining the two into one easy meal was a no-brainer.
Easy dinner and easy cleanup – I like that!

I buy my groceries at my local Shaw’s Supermarket and I love the variety of exclusive items I find there.
They had everything I needed and more so I could put this incredible meat and cheese board together.

I usually go shopping by myself, but there have been days when I’ve just wanted my groceries delivered.
And they do that!
They also offer a pick up service.
All I have to do is order my groceries online or through their app.
I love that Shaw’s Supermarkets offers Grocery Delivery and Pick Up for convenient ways to shop!

Shopping at Shaw’s Supermarket is easy, convenient, and it’s where I can find Open Nature® products exclusively.
Open Nature offers value items that are minimally processed, and high quality.
There’s something for everyone in the family with plant-based, high-protein, and gluten-free products.

I love their Air Chilled chicken.
What’s air chilled you ask?
These are chickens that are individually processed in a series of cold chambers with purified air.
There’s no retained water which results in a more intense flavor in the chicken and makes it better for marinades. BOOM!

How do you cook roast chicken and vegetables?

Cooking the chicken and vegetable together is easy and helps make dinner so easy to prepare!

• Start by marinating the chicken. Place it into the refrigerator for a minimum of two hours.
• Bake the bacon! Start with a cold oven. It will come out perfectly every time! Save the bacon grease. You’ll use it for added flavor.
• Cut up your onion, butternut squash, and prepare those Brussels sprouts. Don’t like those? Use the same amount of sweet potatoes and broccoli.
• Toss the vegetables with the bacon grease, olive oil, thyme, salt and pepper.
• Place the marinated chicken thighs onto the baking sheet. Make it easy and use the same pan you used to cook the bacon – less cleanup! Then surround them with all of the veggies.
• Bake at 425° for about 30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken registers 165°F.

This is a great recipe to make-ahead!
You can prep the ingredients – marinate the chicken, bake the bacon and reserve the bacon grease, and chop the vegetables in the morning or night before then store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to roast!

TIP: If you find that the skin on the chicken is browning too quickly for your liking or before it’s time to be taken out of the oven, cover the baking pan with a sheet of tin foil.
