What To Serve With This Cajun Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner?
My hubby at this with rice and I ate it as is. You could also use cauliflower rice if you wish but I personally don’t think it needs it. With the 3 different protein and all the vegetables, it made a full meal for me.
Notes About This Recipe
First I wanted to say that I bought all of these ingredients at Aldi. I especially like their frozen raw Jumbo shrimp. They come out so succulent when cooked. I also used their chicken sausages which only have 1g net carbs per sausage. Lastly I used chicken breast but you can use chicken thighs too if you want.
I hope you enjoy this as much as we did. I just loved this combination. The nutritional information for 1 serving (considering I used half of the spices) is:
428 cals / 21.8g fat / 9.6g carbs / 2.7g fiber / 48.9g protein = 6.9g net carbs

When do you add the shrimp? I do not see it in the directions, unless I am missing something.
Denise
Hi Kayla, thank your for spotting that. You just add them when you toss the chicken and vegetables with the oil and spices. I’ve fixed the recipe card. I hope you like it!
RJ
Seems a long time to cook shrimp. Do they get overcooked?
Denise
Hi RJ, you can certainly add the shrimp towards the end of the recipe. I’d at least put it in 15 minutes before the dish is over. Good luck!
Halley
When you mention using only half of the blend do you mean you make the entire spice blend and then just use half of it and leave the rest for another time?
Denise
Hi Halley,
Yes you are only using 1/2 of the blend. I updated the recipe to say that. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. You could just make a half batch if you want or use the extra blend for as a rub for burgers, chicken, pork, etc. Hope you like this!
