I absolutely love making this gluten-free one-pan chicken dinner on busy days when I want something comforting but don’t want a sink full of dishes afterward. There’s something so satisfying about tossing everything onto one pan, seasoning it well, and letting the oven do the work. The chicken turns out juicy and flavorful, and the roasted vegetables soak up all those delicious herbs and spices.
What I enjoy most about this meal is how simple and reliable it is. I can switch up the veggies depending on what I have in the fridge, and it still turns out amazing every time. It feels wholesome, balanced, and nourishing without being complicated. Plus, knowing it’s completely gluten-free makes it perfect for sharing with family or friends who have dietary needs. This is the kind of easy, no-stress dinner that always saves me on busy weeknights.
