Sheet Pan Chicken Cutlets with Brussels Sprouts & Sweet Potatoes

This easy sheet-pan dinner is made with quick-cooking chicken cutlets, so you can make it on any busy weeknight. We season the vegetables and protein in stages, with the end result being a punch of flavor. Crumbled bacon adds a salty note to complete the dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • ¾ teaspoon salt, divided
  • ¾ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
  • 4 cups brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved or quartered if large
  • 1 ¼ pounds chicken cutlets
  • 1 teaspoon ground fennel
  • 3 tablespoons crumbled cooked bacon

Directions

  1. Position rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 425°F.
  2. Toss sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl. Spread evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes.
  3. Toss Brussels sprouts with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in the bowl. Stir into the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet.
  4. Sprinkle chicken with fennel and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Place on top of the vegetables. Roast until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes more.
