Weeknight Dinner: Sheet-Pan Dinner with Trader Joe's Sri Lankan Organic Mango Chutney
We’re making this chutney the flavor star of this recipe!
Are you as thrilled as we are that the back-to-school routine is back in full swing? With the return of school activities, weeknight events, and sports, dinner can often take a hit, leading to reliance on take-out and convenience foods. That's where sheet-pan dinners come to the rescue! They're a game-changer for those hectic weeknights when you need a quick, delicious, and low-maintenance meal.
I previously shared a sheet-pan dinner recipe with a Dijon mustard flavor, but in this easy sheet-pan dinner recipe, the flavor star is Trader Joe's Sri Lankan Organic Mango Chutney. We used to buy this chutney all the time and somehow it fell off the radar. On a recent Trader Joe’s run I saw in on the shelf and thought this would be the perfect item to use for a quick weeknight sheet-pan dinner! I paired it with chicken thighs, mini potatoes, and any veg on hand. This meal is not only a time-saver but also a crowd-pleaser that's perfect for any busy evening.
Now, let's dive into the delicious recipe!
Ingredients:
Prep: 15 min Serves: 4
4-6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/2 cup Trader Joe's Sri Lankan Organic Mango Chutney
1 pound mini potatoes, halved or quartered
Assorted veggies of your choice (e.g., bell peppers, broccoli, carrots)
Olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh herbs for garnish (e.g., cilantro or parsley)
Instructions:
Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (220°C). This ensures that your sheet-pan dinner will cook evenly.
Prepare the Sheet Pan: Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the chicken thighs with half of the Trader Joe's Sri Lankan Organic Mango Chutney. Make sure each piece is coated evenly. Let them marinate while you prepare the other ingredients.
Prep the Veggies: Wash and chop your veggies into bite-sized pieces. Remember that smaller pieces will cook faster.
Toss the Potatoes and Veggies: In a separate bowl, toss the mini potatoes and veggies with olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.
Arrange on the Sheet Pan: Spread the marinated chicken thighs, mini potatoes, and veggies on the prepared sheet pan, ensuring they're in a single layer. This helps them cook evenly.
Drizzle with Mango Chutney: Drizzle the remaining Trader Joe's Sri Lankan Organic Mango Chutney over the chicken and veggies. This will infuse them with sweet and tangy flavors.
Bake to Perfection: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender, with a nice caramelized edge.
Garnish and Serve: Once done, garnish your sheet-pan dinner with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for a burst of freshness and color. Serve hot!
Tips for Customization: Feel free to get creative with this sheet-pan dinner recipe. You can swap the veggies, try different protein sources like salmon or tofu, or adjust the level of spiciness by adding some red pepper flakes or Sriracha sauce.
