Can I use chicken breast instead?

How do I store leftovers?

Refrigerate in airtight containers for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 375 degrees F.

Ingredients

Preheat and Prep

Set the oven to 425 degrees F. Cut the chicken thighs into roughly one-inch pieces. Dice the red onion and bell pepper into similar-sized chunks, and peel and slice the carrots into thin coins.

Season Everything

Place the chicken, vegetables, and drained chickpeas in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then add smoked paprika, cumin, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cinnamon, and salt. Toss thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.

Roast on Sheet Pan

Spread the seasoned mixture in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables have caramelized edges. For extra char, switch to the broiler for the final 2 minutes.
