In the same pan, add some more oil. As the oil shimmers, add the chicken. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 4-5 min or until brownish in color. Set aside
Combine all the sauce ingredients to make the sauce. Transfer everything to the baking dish. Pour the sauce on top and bake @400F for 10 min. Garnish with fresh Rosemary springs and serve!
What kind of Sheet pan should you use?
I would prefer to use a large 21x12 sized Sheet Pan as its big enough to hold a lot of veggies and chicken. Prefer not to use smaller Sheet pan as it won't be enough for the family and crowding a small Sheet Pan won't roast the veggies and Chicken properly!
However if you're making this Harvest Sheet Pan Chicken Dinner for four a regular sized Sheet Pan would work fine
