Fall is finally in full swing and this Sheet Pan Paprika Chicken is the perfect meal for the family. I love sheet pan meals because it means I don’t have to baby sit the food while it cooks, I only have to clean one pan, and it’s going to be delicious!
Now that it’s finally getting cooler out you can turn on your oven to bake and roast to your heart’s content. After turning the oven off I even leave the door open to help warm the house. Anyone else do that?
How to Make Paprika Chicken:
First, chop up the veggies. For this recipe you’ll be using Yukon gold potatoes, sweet potatoes, and sweet onions. This combination is amazing! But really, how can you go wrong with sweet potatoes. It adds the perfect sweetness to this smoky paprika meal.
Once your veggies are cut, throw them on the pan and drizzle them with oil and season with garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss it with your hands and get everything nice and coated and then spread it out leaving 4 spaces for your chicken. Make sure your vegetables are no bigger than about 3/4 inch pieces or else they won’t be done when your chicken is.
To prep your chicken you’ll first want to pound each breast to about 3/4 inch thickness. Then make the sauce by combining oil, smoked paprika (though sweet or regular works too), garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Rub this delicious goodness on both sides of the chicken and then place on the baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes and enjoy it with your family.
Meal Prep Sheet Pan Chicken
This Sheet Pan Paprika Chicken is perfect for meal prepping! When I meal prep this for my husband to take to work for lunches I like to chop up the chicken into bite size pieces after it cooks so that it’s easier for him to eat. If you want to feed you family and have leftovers for meal prep, feel free to make a second pan of it at the same time.

TOOLS USED TO MAKE THIS SHEET PAN CHICKEN:
Half-Sheet Pan– I LOVE these pans. I’ve had the same 4 pans since I got married (8 years ago) and they are in great condition. I use them all the time for cakes, cookies, roasting vegetables, baking chicken…
Knife Set– I got this when I got married almost 9 years ago. I use them multiple times a day and they’re still going strong!
Cutting board– I love having various sizes of cutting boards and these are awesome because they won’t slip and slide around on the counter.
