Keto Smoky Chicken and Vegetable Sheet Pan Dinner
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  2. 2

    Combine broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage in a large bowl. Whisk olive oil, salt, and paprika in a measuring cup and pour over the vegetables. Gently stir until all the vegetables are coated. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Mix chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder on a flat plate. Roll each chicken thigh in the spice mixture to coat both sides. Wrap 2 pieces of bacon around each thigh and place the chicken in the center of the baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Give the vegetables a final stir and scatter them around the chicken in an even layer.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
