Chicken, radishes, and broccoli get roasted on one sheet pan for a speedy dinner. Pick your grain (prep it ahead), top it with the sheet pan chicken and veg, and slather it in the creamy bright artichoke sauce for an easy spring dinner. Toasted nuts add crunch and fresh herbs and lemon brighten everything up!
