Olive Bar Sheet Pan Chicken

Autumn is here and it’s time to start using the oven again. This sheet pan chicken recipe is an easy way to use up any unused produce and those leftover olives, pickled peppers, marinated artichoke hearts, capers, sun-dried tomatoes, or any other favorite pushed to the back of the fridge! The vinegary brine is what brightens up this dish–and it’s the secret ingredient to this one-pan meal. I also love to add end-of-the-season kale or collared greens, plus any ripe-and-ready root veggies from the garden.
