SHEET PAN CITRUS ROASTED CHICKEN WITH BEANS + SWEET POTATOES

Let’s face it: sheet pan dinners are lifesavers. You can think of them as the extremely healthy version of microwave dinners, sans artificial ingredients and a microwave. Instead, they feature layers of fresh veggies and healthy fats, all roasting at once in a single layer while you wind down from a long day.

This sheet pan dinner features tender roasted chicken, beans, and sweet potatoes seasoned with our bright Citrus Salt + Pepper seasoning. It’s sure to satisfy any palette, and you can easily double the ingredients for a bigger batch.
