Notes about this recipe

    This was decent. Not a big wow meal, but not bad for a weeknight.

    This was…fine. I think we were expecting too much of smoked paprika. This probably would have benefited from a sauce. Perhaps the garlic aioli she mentions and then says it doesn’t need. It does. Not a repeat.

    This felt like a riff on Melissa Clark's sheet pan harissa chicken with potatoes and leeks, but not as good. It wasn't bad by any means, just not exciting enough to make again.

    My husband made this last night - not a Wow, but good food, good flavour (although he did forget the green olives, which I think would have made a significant difference). Easy and quick to make apparently, and a nice dinner of comfort food. We'll make it again, with olives.

    Skipped the olives and red pepper as I didn't have any. Used skinless thighs and dried thyme. Used soy chorizo from Trader Joe's. Perfectly cooked in 30 mins. A lot of liquid in the pan and delicious.

    This is a good one pan dinner, and even worked with boneless skinless chicken thighs. My one disappointment was that the potatoes didn't brown much. Perhaps baking them directly on the pan, with out a baking mat, would have helped, or just keeping them in the oven ten minutes longer. And while my older son likes green olives, he didn't really appreciate the cooked ones, so I may set those aside to be added after baking in the future. Finally, don't dip the red pepper. It adds some welcome vibrancy and acid to the dish after briefly marinating in the vinegar.

    This was ok but nothing special even with the optional chorizo.

  • lenode on March 11, 2018

    Made with the chorizo as recommended, and that really took it to the next level for a chicken sheet pan dish.

  • Frogcake on March 10, 2018

    I got distracted and added an extra tablespoon of vinegar to the marinade. Too late to turn back, I went ahead and slathered the marinade on the chicken. Worked out well -it was tangy and delicious. This is a nice pan dinner to pack into portions for kids at university as a break from residence food. Also a great, quick recipe for students cooking for themselves. Definitely worth repeating.

    I’m hesitant to give this a review as I was missing two ingredients - green olives and red peppers. I found this dish rather bland and I’m sure the extra ingredients would help. This is a perfectly OK and easy weeknight dinner- I just feel I have other similar recipes I like more (like Melissa Clark’s Harissa chicken with leeks potatoes and yogurt).

  • Zosia on January 27, 2018

    Vinegar, olives and red peppers lifted the flavour of what at first appeared to be a fairly standard smoked paprika flavoured chicken sheet pan meal. My favourite (so far) of all the ones I've tried. The only change I made was to add the cauliflower about 10 minutes into the roasting so it wouldn't scorch.

  • Dannausc on January 06, 2018

    It was fairly quick and easy and quite tasty. Worth a repeat.
