We fell in love with Little Creek Dressing recently! We used their dressing varieties as a sauce, a marinade and a dressing, and EVERY DISH WAS A HIT… unheard of in our home. Little Creek Dressings are made with love in B.C’s Okanagan and it shows. This mama loved that the ingredients are organic and non-GMO, with no added sugars or emulsifiers. The rest of the family just loved the taste & wanted more

Sheet Pan Chicken Dinner
- 1 cup of chicken or other protein per person (there are 3 of us so we used 3 chicken breasts.)
- 2 – 3 types of vegetables cut into approximately 1-inch cubes. We used 1 ½ cups each of broccoli (carrots, mushrooms & small potatoes. Other ideas: 1 cup carrots in small pieces, 1 cup broccoli florets, 1 small red onion (chopped), 1 cup grape or plum tomatoes, 1 medium zucchini (chopped), 1-2 beets peeled & chopped)
- 1 – 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2-4 cups cooked rice or grain of your choice (optional)
- Marinate the chicken (or other protein) with the Little Creek dressing Okanagan Original in a sealed container in the fridge overnight (and if you can’t do overnight then 2 hours at least)
- Place the chicken and veggies on a parchment-lined baking sheet separated so there is enough room to cook evenly. We arrange the veggies in order of cooking time so that we can easily remove some as they cook.
- Drizzle veggies with the olive oil & toss gently.
- Bake for 25- 30 minutes or until the veggies are charred & tender and the chicken is cooked. If you wish, you can remove the veggies as they cook and place in a covered dish to keep warm.
- Serve chicken & veggies in a bowl drizzled with Little Creek Original Okanagan dressing with ½ to 1 cup of cooked rice or grain of your choice. YUM!
