Sheet Pan Chicken Curry Dinner Recipes

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH CHICKPEAS, CUMIN AND TURMERIC

Steps:

• Season chicken parts with salt and pepper.
• Combine 3/4 cup yogurt, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon turmeric and 2 tablespoons water in a large bowl. Season well with salt and pepper. (It should be on the salty side, as this is a marinade.) Add chicken and toss to coat evenly. Let sit at least 30 minutes at room temperature, and up to overnight in the refrigerator.
• Place oven rack on the top third of the oven and heat to 425 degrees.
• Combine chickpeas, fennel seed, cumin, remaining teaspoon of turmeric and half the red onion slices on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
• Move chickpeas to the outer edges of the baking sheet. Scrape any excess marinade off the chicken, and place the chicken parts in the center. Place baking sheet in oven and bake, tossing chickpeas occasionally, until the skin of the chicken is evenly browned and the chickpeas are golden and starting to crisp, 45 to 50 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss remaining onion slices with 2 tablespoons lemon juice and season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Combine remaining yogurt with remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice and season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Once chicken is ready, scatter with lemony onions and mint or cilantro. Serve with seasoned yogurt alongside as a sauce.

SHEET PAN CAULIFLOWER CURRY WITH RAITA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C)with a rack in the center position.
• Prepare the Cauliflower Curry: In a large mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, jalapeno, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, garam masala, turmeric, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, and salt. Mix together throughly.
• Add the cauliflower florets and cubed potato to the bowl.
• Gently toss the cauliflower and potato in the spiced oil marinade (*note: I use my hands, but if you're sensitive to spices or heat, use disposable kitchen gloves or two large mixing spoons) until they're evenly coated. Allow the mixture to marinate for 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature as the oven preheats (*if you are short on time, you can skip this step).
• Spread the cauliflower and potatoes in an even, thin layer on a rimmed standard half sheeet pan - leaving space between the pieces to encourage even caramelization during roasting. *Note: I prefer to use an unlined sheet pan for better caramelization, but please know that turmeric is stain-prone.
• Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, rotating the pan and flipping the vegetables halfway through. Remove from the oven, distribute the chickpeas evenly onto the sheet pan, and roast for an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until the vegetables are caramelized and fork tender.
• Prepare the Raita: During roasting, prepare the raita sauce. Combine the greek yogurt, grated cucumber (*be sure to squeeze it out to remove any moisture), garlic, lemon juice, salt, cumin, black pepper, and mint leaves in a medium bowl. Stir to combine. Season to taste, adding more salt, lemon juice, or fresh mint as you like.
• Just Before Serving: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and deglaze the pan with ⅓ cup warm water, gently tossing the vegetables and scraping the bottom of the pan to pick up any caramelized bits. *Note: You can skip this step, but I like the added moisture it provides.
• Garnish with reserved lemon zest, torn mint leaves, and fresh cilantro. Serve with raita alongside coconut rice or toasted naan.
