Sheet Pan Chicken with Tomatoes and Chickpeas | That Sounds So Good

In this recipe for sheet pan chicken, chicken legs are roasted on top of a jammy canned tomato and chickpea mixture. The spices on the chicken baste the other ingredients as it cooks. The entire dinner is hands-off and is generous enough to serve a crowd.

"I'm not apologising for fat anymore, it's just not a thing I do" - love it, fat = flavour ❤️❤️

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

The only thing I want to discuss is Love is Blind- *BUT DON'T RUIN IT* I'm only halfway through the finale!

[@daviddorrell5819]

The recipes and the videos come together much like the components of these dishes. I mean to say, they get better and better and better. Mm-mmm! Many thanks, Carla!

[@alejandronasifsalum8201]

Cosmo is incredibly funny. I remember him trying Claire's Warheads... he always delivers.

[@user-rm9zx7ln9i]

I hope he continues to do something that makes him happy.

[@tipsytahls]

The lil mention of Chris Morocco warmed my heart, I miss seeing the old BA chefs always giving eachother advice and feedback

[@wickandde]

Seriously put off BA stuff with the mess of how everything was handled. So cringe. Respect for everyone who since left BA for greener pastures.

[@smknochs1]

"If you don't love salt, maybe unsubscribe?" Love you, Carla

[@calebjbush]

If I had a dollar for every adjective used in this video I’d hire someone like Carla to cook for me for the rest of my life

[@britney901]

If that were me, I'd pay her to date me

[@willcookmakeup]

Omg Cosmo is gigantic! That’s so crazy hahah. We got to watch him grow up on BA. So nuts, making me feel so okd

[@melissaayn8902]

The coordination of colors with Carla’s outfit and ingredients is so aesthetically pleasing! Makes this recipe feel extra warm, nourishing and inviting!

[@rikkimontero]

I love this episode the food the instruction and most of all COSMO! What a great kid with such a witty and pleasant demeanor. You raised him well good job!

[@telathomason57]

I can see my own 2 boys doing the same things trying my dishes!! 🤣🤣

[@jennifertrace3836]

Whew! I made it through all the “moists” at the beginning and now can unclench and revel in the joy that is Carla.

[@EmeraldWilliams]

Carla. I got the cookbook a few weeks ago as an early wedding gift and I literally made this dish tonight. It was scrumptious. And then I come on here and THIS IS WHAT YOU POST. incredible. It was so good. So thank uou

[@cresp7090]

I loooooove this dish! I cant believe it's just been out 4 weeks?!? I feel like ive done it every week since it came out! People need to know abiut this sheet pan chicken!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SLYCoopaEatsChicken]

your son is adorable and seems like such a lovely person :')

[@thomasbenjaminroca8900]

You and Cosmo are ADORABLE! Love the recipe!

[@jamesbrown4340]

I just did it with potatoes instead of chickpeas and I used thick cut pork chops...F-ing amazing

[@rileywildman3224]

1. This looks delicious. 2. Good lord Cosmo looks like he aged 6 years since I last saw him in a video. O.O

[@passiveaggressive6175]

Carla seasons her food so well, so many cooks are obsessed with style over taste.

[@Chinchillalover1313]

Days when we get new episodes are the best days of my week! I can’t say enough how much I adore Carla’s energy and humor

[@GregCurtin45]

Great advice about watching out for steaming your chicken. I completely get the concept but hadn't given it that much thought. I think you are the first person to advise/warn about this - thank you for the education and great recipe.

[@pi3496]

I've tried about 10 of your recipes (including this one) LOVE them all. You are a joy to watch.

[@juice6494]

Cosmo is the sweetest! Carla, thank you for making great videos!! They make me really happy.

[@jayg6138]

Watching this in hospital before I get my tonsils out. Might give it a try in a fortnight 😂 nice to take my mind off things though

[@evleevle4538]

Genius recipe! I love this series so much and Cosmo is so funny and charming. It’s such a heartwarming experience.

[@stevemac2009]

I bought the book…this is my favorite recipe. I have for the past 3 months had this at least once every two weeks!

[@katherinekrauss4648]

Always enjoy her videos, and have made three dinners for my friends thanks to her inspiration. Finally got the “sounds so good” cookbook. Such a satisfying, creative and inspirational read- Like having an elbows on the kitchen table chat with a friend while things sizzle and splatter and delicious smells develop. ❤️

[@sophieburgess4523]

I’m obsessing over this idea of oven roasted tomatoes and im adoring it as an addition to my sheet pan roasted veggie meal prep situations. It’s like a sauce without making a sauce I looooveee 🤤

[@taymthom]

Probably your most quotable video!!! I love it!!!!

[@elizabethdunn1668]

I got the book, and I’m totally making this! Looks amazing, Carla!

[@RhubarbPiArt]

I love how good cosmois on the camera, he really wanted to eat but was patient and was even mindful of aesthetics and looked where carla put her spoon and followed suit and- oh, so cute XD

[@bethhelminiak5063]

I did it! I read the book cover to cover! Its amazing, Carla, you are an inspiration! Making dinner out of it tonight - fat noodles and shrooms, anyone?

[@sh-nd4cs]

What a fun little adventure . I'm so charmed rn...4 times I combusted in laughter

[@flyovermyhead2]

Love you Carla. This was a hit at my dinner party ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@FriedRice515]

Excited to make this for lunch tomorrow🤤

[@user-qe9lb4xs6q]

Looking exceptionally good in this ep carla. Burnt orange is your colour!!!

[@valerieburkett2903]

Oh my goodness. I love your kid. What a gem.

[@XusernamegoeshereX]

Love the Cosmo cameo as always

[@bryanmcwhirter9945]

Always perfect, Thankyou!

[@eatmoremusic3650]

If you turn the garlic on its side and then smash it’s much easier. Great recipe Carla!!

[@kharrell8356]

Great to see you again.

[@davidpierce4949]

Mom and Cosmo interaction was a delight to see.

[@alrawi5308]

Gordan Ramsay levels of olive oil lmao. Love it Carla

[@SLYCoopaEatsChicken]

wearing clothes that are the same colour as the food you're cooking is truly brilliant

[@maryamabdulraheem8854]

COSMO! HAI COSMO! KZbin LOVES YOU!

[@EmmettDoesStuff_YT]

Weekend dinner! Can’t wait to try it.

[@jennyp328]

Hey Carla! Would you be willing to talk about salt? Different types and what you recommend using for what?

[@ryanfleming55]

OMG Cosmo got so big!

[@2igotmoney]

Yuuuummmyyy

[@AmbroseReed]

Cosmo is getting so tall omg!

[@nevernothungry9377]

Carla! Please, we must know where this serving bowl is from…it’s gorg!

[@claska333]

Cosmo is getting so big 😭😭 our kid is growing up YALL

[@cynhanrahan4012]

I'm going to quote you to my Dr at the end of the month when I go in for my annual cholesterol scolding, but I'm not apologizing for fat anymore either.

[@foodisforeating6181]

Interesting. 🙂

[@theouthousepoet]

Cosmo will never truly understand what a gift his mother is. I’m not sure if my mother has ever heard the word polenta. I don’t think she’d know how to pronounce it if she read it. And if she saw it on her plate she’d go “ew”. My childhood was one of microwave dinners, pre-packaged vegetables, and any meat that was served was baked until it’s texture was chalk. I full on thought I didn’t like meat until I began eating at friends’ houses - it turns out I just didn’t like the sensation that occurs in my jaw when you chew protein that’s cooked 5 hours too long. Lol

[@Iconology]

This looks yum! Would basil work also in place of thyme?

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

Yes!

[@karina1here]

COSMO''S VOICE!

[@andrewstinson3572]

Bought the book and was so excited to try this recipe. However, the 325 temp for 2.5 hours didn’t crisp the chickpeas nor make the tomatoes jammy. The chicken was perfect tho… I suspect it’s my oven. So next time going higher in temp for shorter time on the chickpeas. 450 for 45 min. Then chicken part at 325 as written.

[@aileendclark]

COSMO IS SO BIG!!!!!!

[@mohammedaftisse]

If I ripped the tomatoes into a colander before putting them on the tray would they lose too much juice or is it ok?

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

oh that's smart i should have thought of that!

[@mohammedaftisse]

Thanks so much

[@carenburger]

Cosmo with his sticky-uppy baby chicken hair :)

[@tabbybatgaming]

I’ve had this one bookmarked in my copy of the cookbook for a while and now I definitely need to make it! Question: Since my husband doesn’t care for chickpeas, would the recipe lose a lot by us omitting them?

[@pennylola123]

Use butter beans!

[@sandywaddell4303]

You could try cannellini beans, too, I think.

[@kjdude8765]

Someone else commented that they used cubed potatoes and it worked well.

[@AceofFlames_]

Omg where can I get that Italian hand gesture emoji!

[@Iconology]

Also would that sauce be ok to reduce? Personal preference is slightly thicker sauce.

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

Definitely. Watch for salt. A slurry would work too

[@tamaramitchell6705]

Delicious! I misread the temp at 225 so my onions and garlic were still a bit on the crunchy side despite at least two and half hours in the oven with the chicken. Oops

[@treebeardization]

S/O to Oaktown Spice Shop!

[@JoshRussia97]

Thoughts on making a video about the hardest recipe to develop for that sounds so good?

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

Definitely the zucchini fritter

[@hellosabrinachaney]

a recipe for those who are gonzo over garbanzo

[@kjy5009]

How the heck do you clean your sheet pans? For real I can never get mine back to looking like that?

[@gusgusfl]

Can we line the sheet try with aluminum foil to make clean up easier?

[@g0lddustt29]

It...really isn't that much cleanup???? The bottom of the sheet pan is basically all juice. Just soak it while you eat if you're really that concerned but it's not necessary, I've made this.

[@MrShroombot]

Moist and steamy is for the bedroom.

[@theprousteffect9717]

We need a shirt that says, "I'm not apologizing for eating fat anymore."

[@alisonl_]

Could I use the same amount of skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts instead the legs?

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

Definitely. Cook time will be a tad shorter, take off 30 mins

[@alisonl_]

@@CarlaLalliMusic123 perfect! Thank you!

[@2darkdragon]

i remember cosmo eating claires warheads....now look at him...

[@kvn.teeeee]

Can we use fresh tomatoes? Sorry for asking!

[@davidcunningham6525]

The recipe in the book suggests using plum tomatoes cut into quarters

[@forteandblues]

Can I replace tomatoes with red roasted bell peppers instead?

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

yes, don't even roast them first!

[@forteandblues]

@@CarlaLalliMusic123 thanks! 🙏
