Sheet Pan Chicken Sweet Potatoes And Brussels Sprouts With Bacon And Balsamic Glaze

Here’s a sheet-pan chicken sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts with bacon and balsamic glaze dinner, inspired by Cooking Classy, that’s a must-have in your arsenal of recipes. Exquisitely seasoned chicken complemented with veggies naturally caramelized by roasting couldn’t be easier when baked up all at once on a single pan. More taste and less of everything else: Time, dishes, mess. Chicken is a great choice for sheet-pan recipes. Not only versatile, it cooks quickly, comes out tender and goes with everything. Likewise, hearty veggies like sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts are well suited to oven roasting. The more you can let them caramelize (gain color and flavor while cooking), the better they will taste.

Once it’s plated, your lucky dinner companions will never guess how quickly it all came together. Pairing opposite flavors together actually helps deepen both. The contrast of bacon’s savory saltiness and the potatoes’ earthy sweetness lets each shine even brighter. That’s part of the reason for something we all know: Bacon really does make everything better. Balsamic glaze is genius, too. It’s so easy to make and adds another dimension to any dish. It’s a syrupy glaze that’s rich, acidic and sweet, adding depth and contrast to any dish. Just two ingredients and a few minutes are all it takes to turn any meat or veggie into a memorable, ask-for-the-recipe creation.
