Sheet Pan dinners are my newest dinner obsession! They are one of the easiest ways to make quick meal I've found - throw everything onto a pan together and then let the oven do the work. One pan - so no mess, no trying to make 3 dishes at the same time, and its fairly brainless because you really don't have to expend that much mental energy when all you are doing is chopping thing into bite sized pieces. It's a complete meal, all on one pan, and in about 30 minutes.
Another great choice for fall is Cranberry Balsamic Sheet Pan Chicken.
This particular sheet pan is dedicated to fall - what with its sweet potatoes, bacon, chicken and apples all blending together beautifully. But it would be perfect any time of the year. I have been loving Jamaican Jerk seasoning lately, how its slightly sweet, slightly spiced, and can be as hot as you wish it. It pairs perfectly with sweet potatoes, apples and bacon here. Serve this as a stand alone meal, or with white or brown rice.
Having a solid Jamaican Jerk seasoning is important here. It is one of those things where every brand does it a little bit differently, and you never know what level of spicy you are going to get. You want to make sure it has a good balance of flavor and heat - this blend is has the perfect combination of Jamaican allspice berries, black peppercorns and dried thyme, for a flavorful, spicy kick.
