A full meal in one! Love love love sheet tray meals. This chicken meal is full of flavor, vegetables and protein! This dish also feeds a whole family and once you put it in the oven, you can go about other duties while the flavors meld in the oven. This dish is sweet from the butternut squash and pears and savory from the brussels sprouts and pancetta; It is the perfect mix of savory and sweet. A true “set it and forget it” meal that will give you leftovers that you will adore!
