    Creole Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner

    I love easy fuss-free dinners for my busy weeknights. It just seems that 5 o'clock rolls around way before it should and I haven't even thought about dinner. That's when simple dinners with minimum prep really come in handy.

    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.

    Believe me, this Creole chicken sheet pan dinner will taste like anything but leftovers! And bonus, this mixed grill recipe is gluten-free, Whole30, and, if you eliminate the potatoes, low carb as well.

    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.
