Notes

  • Please refer to my FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions) and ingredient list above for other substitutions or for the answers to the most common questions.
  • NOTE: We all thought this could use a kick of spice but generally when I add any kind of spice to anything, people don't like it so I will put this here for those you like a little kick. I would add some red pepper flakes to the chicken and potatoes. It can be however much you prefer. Maybe sprinkle about a quarter teaspoon to each. You can always add more later if you think it needs more or sprinkle a little hot sauce on top.
  • You can season the potatoes in a bowl then add to the sheet pan, I was just trying to cut down on how many dishes were being used.
