    Paleo and Family-friendly Maple Garlic Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner with Butternut Squash |www.flavourandsavour.com

    Here's a family-friendly chicken sheet pan dinner that's paleo compliant too. Made with chicken breasts, butternut squash and seasonal vegetables, all on one pan.

    This Maple Garlic Chicken Sheet Pan dinner is one that everyone in the family seems to love.

    And no wonder -- It's full of flavour, but it doesn't overpower. There's a little sweetness from the maple syrup, a little saltiness from the coconut aminos (or soy sauce) and a little bite from the ginger and garlic. Just enough to keep it interesting and make you want another bite, but not too strongly flavoured for kids!

    And best of all, it's easy to prepare. One pan! Easy clean up!

    The secret to sheet pan dinners is to make sure everything is cut in a size to be perfectly cooked at the same time.

    It can be tricky at times, but with a little experience, you get to know how long each item takes. I chose vegetables that are in season right now: butternut squash, zucchini, red peppers, Brussels sprouts, red onion, and sweet Seckel pears.

    I used the same marinade I use in this Maple Garlic Glazed Chicken recipe, because it's one of our favourite ways to cook chicken thighs. This time, however, I used skinless, boneless chicken breasts.

    Cut the chicken breasts in one-inch cubes. If they're too big, they won't cook in time, but if they're too small, they will be overcooked before the squash is done. (And there is nothing worse than dry chicken breasts!) Marinate the chicken for a couple of hours, or even overnight.

    Since butternut squash and Brussels sprouts take longer to cook, cut them in smaller pieces. Leave the peppers, zucchini and onions in larger chunks, as they cook more quickly. Choose firm pears and leave the skin on so they hold their shape. The pears may seem like an odd addition, but they add a natural sweetness that goes really well with the maple garlic marinade.

    This Maple Garlic Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner is an ideal meal for busy weeknights!

    1. Whisk the marinade ingredients together.
    2. Cube the chicken and add to marinade.
    3. Chop the vegetables and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper.
    4. Arrange on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
    5. Transfer chicken cubes on top of the vegetables.
    6. Roast at 375°F. for 25 to 30 minutes or until butternut squash is fork tender and chicken is no longer pink inside. Add a handful of pumpkin seeds for the last five minutes of roasting. And if you like, pop the sheet pan under the broiler for a few minutes to brown the chicken and crisp the edges of the vegetables.

      Thought I'd let you know that I make this ALL the time! I change the vegetables depending on what I have on hand and sometimes I sub an apple for the pear. So good!

      I will have to look what coconut aminos is, never heard of that before. Your sheet pan dinner looks so vibrant and delicious, I would be happy if this was our dinner today and I bet my husband would love it too =)

        Hi Helene,
        Coconut aminos is a sap from a coconut tree. It's low glycemic and rich in nutrients. It tastes very much like soy sauce. Since soy products are not part of the paleo diet, coconut aminos is an alternative. It's usually readily available in stores right next to the soy sauce. Thanks for commenting!
