Dig into the rich, rustic flavors of fall with this one-pan chicken dinner recipe! The best part: In just under an hour, this stunning roasted chicken and veggie dish will be ready for the table.
Nothing says “autumn” like a pan of the season’s best produce roasted with chicken and herbs. This hearty and delicious chicken dinner boasts an abundance of antioxidant-rich vegetables and lean chicken breast.
Just about any vegetable takes on a delicious and rustic flavor when roasted. Fall produce like butternut squash and – my personal favorite – Brussel sprouts roast up perfectly, each adding their own distinct flavor to the dish. This is one of those dishes that you really can’t mess up; the crispier the veggies get, the deeper the flavor they seem to have.

What I love most about this recipe, besides the easy cleanup of course, is that every bite is different. A little bit of onion and butternut squash in one bite and the next may be chicken and Brussels sprouts. It is truly a fall feast for the senses. The chicken roasts up alongside the vegetables in an olive oil and apple cider vinegar mixture that helps the herbs stick to the chicken and vegetables and seal in the flavor.
I recommend setting the sprigs of thyme on top of each chicken breast and once the dish is roasted, gently slide your finger down the stem and push the leaves of thyme onto the chicken and veggies. It gives that cooked-all-day rotisserie chicken aroma to the chicken.
Be sure to keep this recipe in your back pocket for days when you want a home-cooked meal in a pinch.
