Description
Chicken and vegetables get a smoky makeover in this sheet pan dinner for four. These particular vegetables absorb the smoked paprika nicely and are a perfect complement to the bacon-wrapped chicken.
Ingredients
- 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
- ½ head cauliflower florets
- ½ medium head red cabbage, cut into wedges
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 8 slices bacon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Combine broccoli
- cauliflower
- and cabbage in a large bowl. Whisk olive oil
- salt
- and paprika together in a measuring cup and pour over vegetables. Gently stir until all of the vegetables are coated. Set aside.
- Combine chili powder
- cumin
- and garlic powder on a flat plate. Roll each chicken thigh in the spice mixture so that both sides are coated. Wrap 2 pieces of bacon around each thigh and place chicken in the center of the baking sheet.
- Stir vegetables one last time and scatter them around the chicken in an even layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crispy and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear
- 35 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
