Why didn’t we think of this before? The one pan, no mess, family-friendly chicken dinner that everyone will love.
One of the team members recently asked the others, “Do you remember how long we used to spend cooking dinner?” As newlyweds, dinner used to take all day to make. Then we learned to make dinner in under an hour and now we’re down to making dinner in a few minutes! Perhaps it may not be as gourmet as we once made, but our goal these days is to be efficient and make something that most of the family enjoys.
This recipe was inspired by the garlic sesame chicken nuggets, the first recipe we ever posted on Between Carpools! That one-bowl chicken is still a reader favorite years later! It was also inspired by the Best Frozen French Fries, another one of BCP’s all-time most popular posts.
This recipes comes together in literally minutes. While it’s in the oven, you have a few minutes to pull together a salad and dinner is done!
Place chicken and fries on a sheet pan.
Sprinkle remaining ingredients on top.
Add the oil
and mix well.
You want the fries to be slightly crispy on the edges.
For those that want a lot more fries, we like to use a big sheet pan to fit the whole bag. Just season a bit more with oil, crumbs, paprika, and salt.
