This dinner combines the convenience of a sheet pan chicken dinner with the lively flavors of Spanish cuisine. Briny green olives and smoky paprika provide a delicious contrast to meaty chicken thighs and sweet mini peppers. Sherry vinegar is the finishing touch, which adds a bright acidity, but you could substitute cider vinegar instead.
