Sheet-Pan Balsamic-Parmesan Chicken & Vegetables

This flavorful dish–with the combination of balsamic vinegar and Parmesan cheese–makes a great weeknight meal since it requires little legwork (and only one pan!).

This one-pan dinner gets a hit of flavorful heat from harissa, the popular North African chile-and-garlic paste. We use harissa paste from a tube for this recipe. It’s got a concentrated chile flavor that makes an excellent spice rub for chicken and adds a subtle punch of heat to a refreshing herbed yogurt sauce.
