How To Make Sheet Pan Chicken With Veggies

Prepare for roasting: Preheat your oven to 400℉. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and set aside.

Cut the chicken and vegetables: Wash the vegetables and cut them into ¾-inch pieces. Pat the chicken breast dry on both sides with a paper towel. Add the chicken and vegetables into a large bowl.

Season: Add the olive oil and seasoning. Toss to coat everything fully.

Arrange on the sheet pan: Place the chicken breast on the sheet pan, then evenly arrange the vegetables around it.

Bake: Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken breast is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°.

Serve and enjoy: Slice the chicken breast into your desired shape. Use tongs to add to the top of pasta, rice, or quinoa, or serve in a sandwich bun. Enjoy!

Recipe Tips

  • Cut the vegetables into uniform ¾-inch pieces. This will help them cook at the same rate, resulting in perfectly tender chicken and evenly roasted veggies.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in the olive oil and seasonings for 30 minutes to an hour before assembling the sheet pan.
  • Keep a close eye on the sheet pan towards the end of the baking time to ensure that the vegetables are cooked until tender with a slight crunch. Overcooking them can lead to mushy veggies.
  • For best results, don't overcrowd the sheet pan. This will lead to steaming, which will compromise the texture of the vegetables.

Variations & Substitutions

  • Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken and veggies before serving. The citrusy brightness will elevate the dish and give it a refreshing twist.
  • For a smoky and slightly spicy kick, sprinkle a pinch of chipotle powder or smoked paprika over the chicken and veggies before roasting.
  • Drizzle some honey or maple syrup over the chicken and vegetables before baking. The caramelization will create a delightful glaze, balancing out the savory elements and adding a hint of natural sweetness to the dish.
  • Swap the bell pepper for cherry tomatoes, add some sliced mushrooms, or throw in some asparagus spears. Use whatever vegetables you have on hand!
  • Serve it over a bed of fluffy couscous, quinoa, or roasted sweet potatoes instead of rice or pasta. For a low-carb dish, serve over riced cauliflower or zucchini noodles.

Storage

Transfer cooled leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days. When ready to enjoy, reheat in the microwave or oven until heated through.

Freezing is not recommended, as the structure of the vegetables will become soggy and mushy after thawing.

FAQ

Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?

Chicken thighs can be a delicious alternative to chicken breasts in this recipe. Chicken thighs may require slightly longer cooking time, so make sure to check the internal temperature reaches 165°F to ensure they are cooked through.

Can I use frozen vegetables instead of fresh ones?

Frozen vegetables may release more moisture during cooking, which can affect the texture of the dish, so fresh is recommended for sheet pan meals.

Can I substitute the olive oil with another type of oil?

You can substitute olive oil with other oils like avocado oil, grapeseed oil, or vegetable oil. Just ensure that the oil can withstand the roasting temperature of 400°F.
