Sheet Pan Chicken with Peas and Carrots
This Sheet Pan Chicken with Peas and Carrots is a simple, wholesome, and flavor-packed meal perfect for busy weeknights. Juicy, skin-on chicken thighs are marinated in a creamy, herb-infused yogurt, which tenderizes the meat while adding a subtle tang. Roasting everything on one pan makes preparation easy and cleanup minimal, while the vibrant peas and carrots bring natural sweetness, color, and nutrients to the dish. A few butter pieces melt into the vegetables, enriching the flavors and making every bite comforting and satisfying.
