A Quick Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner

Chicken is one of my all-time favorite proteins to cook. Not only is it good for you, but it takes on all types of seasonings well and my kids enjoy it! It’s always a win. Sometimes I like to keep dinner nice and easy, and that’s where this sheet pan dinner recipe comes in! Once the vegetables and chicken are prepped, they cook on the same pan for easy clean-up.

I am always on the lookout for more chicken recipes for an easy weeknight dinner and this one is definitely a hit. We also love skipping the oven on warmer nights and use the crockpot for Quick and Easy Creamy Slow Cooker Chicken. 

You can make it your own by swapping out the vegetables! Sometimes I’ll trade out the yellow squash for sweet potatoes or the red bell pepper for green beans. The best part about this recipe is that you make whatever kind you enjoy. I’ll even use my air fryer to cook the chicken breasts, too.

Once all the veggies and chicken are chopped, add your seasonings and oil. Then you’re good to bake until it’s ready to enjoy. 

Ingredients Needed For Sheet Pan Chicken

• Boneless skinless chicken breasts – You’ll want to cut them into bite-size pieces.
• Broccoli – This is about 1 small head of broccoli and it will need to be chopped into small florets. 
• Yellow squash – Cut it into ½ inch pieces and then cut it in half.
• Zucchini – Cut it into ½ inch pieces and then cut it in half.
• Red bell pepper – Cleaned/seeded and then cut into ½ inch pieces.
• Olive oil
• Italian seasoning
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for serving – This is a bright and fresh optional garnish.
• Freshly grated parmesan cheese – Also optional, but worth it in my opinion!

Directions For Sheet Pan Chicken Dinner

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2

Prepare the large baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying it with non-stick cooking spray.

Tip: You can use a silicone mat instead of foil if you like.

Step 3

Cut your chicken breasts and vegetables and add them all to a large bowl and toss to combine.

Step 4

Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle your seasonings on top. Toss to coat the chicken and veggies evenly.

Step 5

Transfer to your baking sheet and make sure everything is spread evenly.

Step 6

Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the chicken and veggies are cooked through.

Tip: The chicken should have an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and the vegetables should be tender. Depending on the veggies you choose, they may have different cook times. Sweet potatoes should be started 5-10 minutes before the rest to ensure that they will be ready at the same time.

Step 7

Top with parsley and parmesan and then enjoy!

Tip: To take this meal up a notch you can serve it over rice or pasta!
