This Sheet Pan Tandoori Chicken is a really quick dinner which is all cooked in the same dish, cutting down on prep and cleaning up time! I use a variety of vegetables when I make this dish, depending on the season or what I have hanging around the kitchen. You can use carrots, winter squash, sweet potato, onion, cauliflower, zucchini, peppers, potatoes, eggplant, parsnips – whatever takes your fancy!
To make this one pan dinner, start by making a marinade for the chicken. As the meat marinates, prepare your veggies by dicing or slicing them into ½-inch pieces. Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt and pepper and spread them out on the baking sheet. Place the marinated chicken on top and spoon some of the marinade over them if you like. Bake in the oven and baste with more marinade 10-12 minutes before the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender.
To make Sheet Pan Tandoori Chicken, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 425 °F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Place ½ cup of plain yogurt in a blender with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 6 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon each of sliced fresh ginger, ground coriander, ground cumin, 2 teaspoons each of garam masala and paprika, ½ a teaspoon of turmeric powder, ¼ teaspoon of cayenne, 2 teaspoons of kosher salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Blend until smooth and set aside ¼ cup.
Place chicken in a bowl and pour over the marinade. Set the bowl aside.
Slice and dice the vegetables to roughly ½-inch and place on a parchment lined sheet pan. Toss the veggie pieces with olive oil, salt and pepper and spread out on the pan.
Place the marinated chicken on top of the vegetables and drizzle some of the remaining marinade over the veggies.
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. With 10-12 minutes of cooking time remaining, remove the pan from the oven and baste with the remaining marinade. Return to the oven until the chicken is done and the vegetables are tender.
Serve immediately.
