Five Spice Chicken Sheet Pan

Five Spice Chicken Sheet Pan

Quick Chinese Five Spice Chicken Sheet Pan is Sweet and Spicy with perfectly caramelized sauce. Easy, quick and you only need one pan. Happy dance time!

The seasoning blend called Chinese five-spice adds a warm note without pushing the cabbage into salad territory. I had never used this spice before but boy does it make a difference. Cooked carrots add a hearty and flavorful part of the dish. This sheet pan dinner will feel your home with the most amazing smells ever. The roasting of the ingredients together on a sheet pan saves time, reduces cleanup, and adds a little something, something that I can’t explain. 

How many of you like ‘Chinese Five Spice’? I absolutely love the warmth of the spices and the depth of flavor. As five-spice blend is not readily available where I live. I had never heard of this spice combination before until it came up in my feed and then I was on a mission to try it!
