Keto Sheet Pan Smoky Paprika Chicken with Roasted Peppers

If you’re on the lookout for easy Low-carb sheet pan dinners, look no further than this sheet pan smoky paprika chicken with roasted peppers. This flavorful dish combines succulent chicken thighs with vibrant roasted vegetables, all seasoned with a smoky paprika blend. Perfect for busy weeknights, it’s a one-pan wonder that makes cleanup a breeze!

Can chicken breast be used instead of chicken thighs?

Absolutely! While chicken thighs are favored for their rich flavor and tender texture, you can substitute them with boneless skinless chicken breasts. Keep in mind that breasts tend to cook faster, so adjust your cooking time accordingly to prevent them from drying out. You might also consider marinating the breasts for an hour before cooking to enhance their flavor and moisture.

Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes, this recipe is freezer-friendly! After preparing the chicken and vegetables, you can freeze the uncooked dish. Cover the sheet pan tightly with plastic wrap or foil, and store it in the freezer for up to three months. When you're ready to enjoy this easy Low-carb meal, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and bake it as directed. This makes it an excellent choice for meal prep, ensuring a wholesome dinner is always within reach.

How to customize this recipe?

One of the best aspects of easy Low-carb sheet pan dinners is their versatility. Feel free to customize this recipe by adding your favorite vegetables, such as zucchini or asparagus, or swapping the spices to match your taste. For a kick, try adding a splash of Keto hot sauce or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving. Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary can also elevate the dish, offering unique flavors that complement the smoky paprika beautifully.

    Step 1 tells me to put the garlic in the sheet pan. Step 2 wants me to add it to the bowl and coat the chicken in it. Which one is it?

      Great taste, but the larger(longer) veg pieces and larger meat pieces make a bit harder to eat- my family requested smaller chicken pieces and more chopped veggies. Also maybe derve with some Cauliflower rice to soak up the extra sauce. But piece flavor!!
