Merken This Roasted Radish & Chicken Sheet Pan dinner is a bright and easy meal featuring juicy chicken thighs, caramelized baby potatoes, and sweet roasted radishes. Finished with a zesty lemon kick, this gluten-free dish provides a sophisticated flavor profile with minimal effort, making it perfect for a healthy family meal.
Merken The secret to this dish lies in the aromatic marinade of smoked paprika, garlic, and dried thyme. As the chicken roasts skin-side up, the skin becomes perfectly crispy while the juices permeate the vegetables below, creating a rich and savory base that is beautifully balanced by the acidity of fresh lemon.
