You can quickly see the draw to this paprika chicken recipe, can’t you? First, it’s roast chicken, you know, with deep golden skin. Then, perfectly tender autumn veggies around. And all in one sheet pan! It all begins with simply seasoning the chicken with salt and letting it be for a bit, allowing the flavoring process to begin. And while that takes place, we go to work on the rest.
Flavor Makers
A quick mixture of warm spices (paprika, coriander, and allspice) with lots of garlic, olive oil and lemon juice, makes a delicious paste to coat the chicken. We’re not shy in using spices here, particularly our all-natural sweet Spanish paprika. If you’re not familiar, paprika is a mild chili powder made by grinding sweet red paprika chilies after the seeds have been removed. It provides a beautiful orange hue and a sweet peppery aroma. Not an overwhelming spice, but gives a lot of depth to this autumn-inspired sheet pan chicken.

What to Serve with this paprika chicken
The point of a sheet pan meal is to keep dishes to a minimum, right? And you really probably don’t need much more to serve along. I often start with a salad like fattoush or this lazy Mediterranean salad. And I throw some warmed pita bread next to it. If you like, make a side of quick, plain couscous, or this Lebanese rice.
