Sheet Pan Honey Chicken and Pumpkin
Healthy, because

Nutritional values
In Paprika contains a lot of beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A when needed. Thus, the fruit vegetable makes a valuable contribution to vision. Chicken meat provides us with plenty of high-quality protein, which is needed, among other things, for strong muscles.
Outside the pumpkin season, you can prepare the honey chicken legs with sweet potatoes or carrots, for example. As a side dish, whole grain rice, buckwheat or baked potatoes fit very well.
