One of the more widely-known Indian dishes, Chicken Tikka tends to be a saucy, stewed dish. This sheet pan version might be our favorite, displaying lively layers of warm and fresh flavors. Sheet pan meals are dreamy in that every cooked component is baked in the oven at the same time using one pan. Genius. Rustic.

The slightly pickled red onions may be the best part, imparting a complimentary, vibrant tang. Thanks to Smitten Kitchen for yet another inspiring dish.
