Aja A says:

This was so full of flavor! The leftovers were even better the next couple of days. It's a nice mix of sweet and bitter. I also tossed in some broccoli florets to the mix. Will try next time with chicken breast perhaps, but the chicken thigh has won me over with the flavor.

Caro Hodgin says:

So delicious and easy! Already made this for the week!

Katie Hason says:

This was really good and easy to make! I love roasted veggies, and combined with the chicken made for the perfect meal prep. I also really liked the mix of spices, very good flavors.

Sam Dalton says:

These vegetables and well seasoned chicken is very good. The allspice, cinnamon, and brown sugar work well together. It almost reminds me of a Caribbean dish, but without the heat. I added this to my meal prep rotation for both me and my wife.

Jessica Scott says:

Easy and delicious meal prep that is ready in under an hour! Perfectly sized portions and a ton of flavor. I was hesitant about the sweet spices at first, but actually turned out really good.

Laura Griffin says:

This was so delicious! My boyfriend and I have planned to make some variation of this recipe every week going forward. I also really liked the cinnamon, allspice and brown sugar flavors, it paired nicely with the vegetables and chicken.

J S says:

These four meals cost me $10 because I had all the spices on hand. Delicious but to critique I will change the recipe to include some hot spice (sriracha or chili flakes), less allspice and more brown sugar - or add honey.

Judy Hillman says:

This is simple, healthy, and delicious! I substituted broccoli florets instead of Brussels sprouts and all the veggies cooked nicely with the chicken thighs. I just ordered an extra large baking pan because the usual size cookie sheet wasn’t quite big enough (I had to use 2 baking pans). Next time I plan to try potato chunks along with carrots and shallots. The spices added just a bit of flavor but not too much. This is a keeper!
