Boneless Chicken Thighs: I like boneless skinless chicken thighs for this recipe rather than skin-on chicken thighs as I like the skin to be super crispy. If you love the chicken skin, feel free to leave it on.
Everything but the Elote: is a seasoning blend that I buy at Trader Joes. If you don't have access to a Trader Joes, then you can buy the spice blend here or you can use a blend of your own favorite seasonings.
Fresh brussel sprouts
Red onion: adds flavor and color
Cherry tomatoes: add moisture, flavor, and color!
Shelf Stable Gnocchi: I like to use this brand.
Extra virgin olive oil: coats the ingredients to prevent sticking and aids in adding some crispiness.
Fresh garlic cloves: adds a great roasted garlic flavor but can use 1 teaspoon garlic powder in its place if desired
Salt & black pepper: to season the ingredients (if desired)
Fresh lemons: optional, fresh squeezed lemon juice adds to the flavors and brightens it up.
🔪 Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a large bowl, stir together the olive oil, seasoning, garlic cloves, salt, and pepper.
- Add the brussels sprouts, gnocchi, and red onion. Toss to coat. Spread the vegetables out onto a foil lined sheet pan.
- Place the chicken thighs in another large bowl. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil, remaining seasoning, and remaining garlic. Toss to coat.
- Arrange the chicken thighs on the sheet pan, nestled among the vegetables, all in a single layer. Place sheet pan in the oven and roast for 15 minutes.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven and add the tomatoes. Return to the oven for 10 minutes, or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165 degrees F.
- Garnish with fresh lemon juice if desired.
🥄 Equipment
Large sheet pan: be sure to use a sheet pan with edges to prevent the ingredients from falling off the sheet pan.
Aluminum Foil or parchment paper: to line the sheet pan and help keep the mess to a minimum when it comes time to clean.
Instant read meat thermometer: to gauge the doneness of the chicken thighs
🥫Storage
Refrigerate: store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 4 days.
Reheat: reheat leftovers in a 350 degree oven on a baking sheet covered with foil for 15-20 minutes, removing foil the last 5 minutes of heating, until warmed through.
📖 Variations
- Substitute boneless skinless chicken breasts or chicken legs in place of chicken thighs.
- Use taco seasoning or italian seasoning in place of the Everything but the Elote.
- Substitute broccoli or green beans for the brussels sprouts and red bell pepper for the tomatoes.
- Instead of gnocchi, use diced red skinned baby potatoes, sweet potatoes or butternut squash
💭 Tips
- If you want to add a little more color to the finished recipe, just turn the broiler on for a few minutes at the end of cooking time.
- If you want to add the elote (corn cob) use the frozen, cut corn on the cob and leave out the gnocchi (or leave the gnocchi also).
