Sheet Pan Cajun Chicken
Crazy DELICIOUS One-Sheet Pan Magic happening right here.
Great for a weeknight dinner, also great for Meal Prep!
We have everything coated in a thick homemade tangy + sweet sauce that adds SO MUCH SASS to our chicken & broccoli pieces.
I adore sheet pan recipes – and this one deserves a permanent spot in our dinner rotation.
Add more fresh garlic or ginger if you love those things like I do! I’ll often add more in ours – but this is a very personal matter of course.
Serve over brown rice or quinoa if you like!
For meal prep this recipe stays good in the refrigerator for up to 4 days in sealed containers.
