Za’atar Sheet-Pan Chicken Directions: (Low Carb Meal)
- Step 1. In a large bowl, whisk za’atar, 6 tablespoons oil, 4 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon salt. Transfer 1/4 cup marinade to a small bowl and set aside. Add chicken to remaining marinade and toss to coat. Cover and let sit at room temperature 30 minutes.
- Step 2. Preheat oven to 425°. Add potatoes to bowl with chicken and toss to coat, then arrange chicken skin side up and potatoes cut sides down on a large baking sheet. Pour any remaining marinade over. Bake chicken and potatoes 15 minutes.
- Step 3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss broccoli and onion with reserved marinade, 2 tablespoons oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Remove sheet pan from oven. Transfer broccoli and onion to pan, making sure vegetables make contact with pan as much as possible.
- Step 4. Continue to bake until vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part should register 165°), about 20 minutes more.
- Step 5. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk tahini, water, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Drizzle over chicken and vegetables. Serve this low carb meal with lemon wedges alongside.
