In just 30 minutes, you can transform ho-hum chicken thighs into a five-star meal masterpiece with that pantry staple, perky lemon, and a few dried spices.

Thyme and maple syrup make this 300-calorie roasted chicken and vegetable dinner taste like fall—as do the produce picks (apples and Brussels sprouts). You won't believe how much flavor you can coax out of just five ingredients—but if you happen to have bacon, crisping up a few diced strips would be a brilliant addition. With the help of your handy skillet, this healthy chicken and vegetable recipe can be on the table with little fuss and next to no mess.

Greek Chicken and Vegetable Sheet-Pan Dinner

This just-so-happens-to-be-Paleo sheet-pan chicken and vegetable dish offers a taste of Greece via a simple spice rub. Oregano, basil, garlic powder, and lemon pepper are all you need to make the flavors pop. Use this to coat chicken breasts and any seasonal veggies—although we're always partial to including cherry tomatoes whenever possible, as they sweeten and burst in the most delightful way once roasted.

Chicken Alfredo Cauliflower Rice Bake

Because it's quite rich and decadent, chicken Alfredo pasta is generally a special-occasion-only dish in our book. But this chicken and vegetable one-pan-style supper is a lightened-up rendition that we'd feel great about serving and savoring any day of the week. Atop a bed of nicely spiced cauliflower rice, layer on fresh spinach, rotisserie chicken, light Alfredo sauce, and just a sprinkle of grated Parmesan and crunchy panko bread crumbs. Warning: You might fight over the last scoop of this easy, cheesy (and surprisingly low-cal) casserole.

While fresh tarragon, a splash of white wine, and garlic makes this one-pan roasted chicken and vegetables taste gourmet, it will be our little secret that this requires only 25 minutes of prep time. We call for new potatoes and carrots for this braised chicken dinner, but feel free to customize with other sturdy root vegetables, such as parsnips, sweet potatoes, or beets, chopped in similar sizes.
