This simple sheet pan chicken and vegetable recipe is a nutrient-dense meal that works beautifully as a quick and easy dinner. Roasted chicken, brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes come together with minimal effort. Serve leftovers the next day over fresh arugula with the garlicky green sauce for a fast, nourishing lunch. Sweet potatoes and brussels sprouts can also be replaced with a medium head of cauliflower and a chopped red onion for a simple variation. From an anti-inflammatory perspective, brussels sprouts provide polyphenols and sulfur-containing phytonutrients that support detoxification and immune balance, while sweet potatoes contribute carotenoids and polyphenols that help reduce oxidative stress and support metabolic health. The garlicky green sauce—made with fresh herbs, lemon, and olive oil—adds flavonoids and stable fats that help neutralize oxidative stress and support cellular resilience.
