sheetpanmediterraneanchickenbrusselssproutsgnocchiIn this healthy dinner recipe, chicken thighs, Brussels sprouts, cherry tomatoes and packaged gnocchi are all roasted on the same sheet pan for a complete meal that couldn't be easier to make. And though it's simple, this dish gets tons of flavour from Mediterranean seasonings, including garlic, oregano and red-wine vinegar. It all adds up to a dish that's ready to go into heavy weeknight rotation in your house.

4 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 Tbsp. fresh oregano, chopped, divided
2 large cloves garlic, minced, divided
½ tsp. black pepper, freshly ground, divided
¼ tsp. sea salt, divided
1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered
1 (16 oz) pkg shelf-stable gnocchi
1 cup red onion, sliced
4 chicken thighs, trimmed, boneless, skinless
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar

Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C/210°C fan, Gas Mark 8).

Stir 2 Tbsp. oil, 1 Tbsp. oregano, half the garlic, ¼ tsp. pepper and 1/8 tsp. salt together in a large bowl. Add Brussels sprouts, gnocchi and onion; toss to coat. Spread on a large rimmed baking sheet.

Stir 1 Tbsp. oil, the remaining 1 Tbsp. oregano, the remaining garlic and the remaining ¼ tsp. pepper and 1/8 tsp. salt in the large bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Nestle the chicken into the vegetable mixture. Roast for 10 minutes.

Remove from the oven and add the tomatoes; stir to combine. Continue roasting until the Brussels sprouts are tender and the chicken is just cooked through, about 10 minutes more. Stir vinegar and the remaining 1 Tbsp. oil into the vegetable mixture.
