This Paleo Crispy Chicken Thigh and Vegetable Sheet Pan Dinner is easy and so flavorful! Juicy chicken with crispy skin and perfectly cooked veggies. A great Whole30, gluten free meal.
This recipe is from Craveable Keto the cookbook by Kendra of Peace, Love, and Low Carb. It’s a beautiful cookbook packed with so many tasty recipes and beautiful photos. No, this is not a strict paleo book as there are recipes that contain dairy, but it’s very easy to use substitutes and she even makes a note of it on some recipes. There is so much cross-over, like using almond and coconut flour and recipes with lots of veggies and healthy fats. And if you can tolerate dairy, this book will be even more amazing for you.The cookbook has more than 145 low-carb recipes and five different weekly meal plans. She gives tip and tricks for transitioning to keto and how to stock a keto kitchen. It is such a useful guide and I know I'll be cooking out of it more.
Why I love this dish and you will too! It’s easy and super delicious. It’s all baked on one pan so it’s a complete meal. The veggies get soft and tender and the chicken gets crispy while still staying juicy. I cut all the veggies a day ahead so it literally came together in just minutes. And of course clean up was so easy!
Note that I did use some different veggies to keep it low fodmap. I will write the recipe as-is and make a note of my changes. That’s a nice thing about meals like this- they are so customizable to what you like or have on hand.

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 8 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 whole head of garlic, cloves separated and peeled*

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°

Sear the chicken on both sides until the skin is crispy and golden brown. (The chicken will not be fully cooked at this stage.) As the garlic starts to brown, remove it from the pan and place it on the baking sheet with the vegetables. Do the same with the rosemary springs.
- Place the chicken thighs on top of the vegetables and pour any pan drippings over the top of everything.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake the chicken and vegetables for 20 minutes., until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender but not mushy.
