Sheet Pan Chicken Tagine with Cauliflower and Olives

No tagine, no worries! This oven-riff on the classic Moroccan dish captures the flavors and all the warm spices that make it a comfort dish. Everything comes together quickly and easily. Then the oven does all the work to turn the chicken golden and crispy while caramelizing the vegetables to merry everything together. Serve this over couscous with a side naan to complete the meal.

This is like the ultimate comfort meal—minimal effort, with a huge payoff! You can mix and toss everything in one large bowl. No extra pinch bowls or prep dishes are needed. And it cooks off on a sheet pan, so there are no multiple pots and pans. I’m all about being a minimalist when it comes to cooking.  

I’m the same when it comes to grocery shopping as well. Who wants to spend more money than they need to, right? Exactly. ALDI makes grocery shopping affordable and efficient. They have high-quality, amazing products at even better prices. A must when grocery shopping! 

It’s the way life is meant to be. No running from store to store to get the best deals or what I need. Efficiency is key when it comes to planning and making meals.  

 Stay tuned because while everyone is turning to soup season, I’m all about sharing more sheet pan meals like this!
