This chicken sheet pan dinner came together with what I had sitting around in my fridge and freezer. And, I don't know about you, but I definitely don't want dinner to just be a ho-hum, "oh it's leftovers" night meal.

This one sheet pan meal is the perfect way to make creole baked chicken with shrimp, sausage, and veggies.
Variations
- Don't have creole spice? You can make your own. See recipe notes or use Old Bay seasoning as a substitute.
- Chorizo too spicy for the family? You can either omit it or add andouille or mild Italian sausage to the mix.
- Seasonal vegetables that work well for sheet pan dinners include broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, yellow squash, and bell peppers.
- Sweet potatoes will also work in place of white potatoes or leave out for low-carb and keto options.
