Recipe Ingredients

For the Chicken & Vegetables

• Chicken Breasts: I recommend using boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe.
• Small Potatoes
• Small Zucchini
• Bell Pepper: Any color of bell pepper will do.
• Onion: Use a red or yellow onion for this dish.
• Cherry Tomatoes

For the Marinade

• Extra Virgin Olive Oil

• Soy Sauce: I like to use low-sodium soy sauce.
• Minced Garlic
• Italian Seasoning
• Dijon Mustard

How to Make this Chicken and Vegetable Sheet Pan Dinner

1. Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 425˚F. Line a large jelly roll pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil and set it aside.
2. Combine Chicken & Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine prepared chicken, potatoes, zucchini, peppers and onions. Set aside.
3. Make Marinade: In a small mixing bowl, combine the marinade ingredients, whisking until thoroughly incorporated. Remove 1 tablespoon of marinade and set it aside for later.
4. Marinate: Pour the marinade into the bowl with the chicken mixture, stirring to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
5. Prepare Tomatoes: Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and place them in a separate bowl. Toss your tomatoes with the reserved marinade and refrigerate until ready to use.
6. Arrange Sheet Pan: Remove your chicken mixture from the fridge and transfer it to the prepared jelly roll pan. Arrange ingredients in a single layer.
7. Cook: Bake for 25 minutes. Then, add your cherry tomatoes to the pan and continue to bake for 5 to 8 more minutes, or until the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165˚F.
8. Let Stand: Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Tips for Perfect Sheet Pan Chicken & Veggies

• Use an Instant Read Thermometer: You’ll know this dish is done when the internal temperature of your chicken registers at 165˚F.
• Coat Well with Marinade: When you add the marinade to your chicken and vegetables, be sure to coat them completely. This will ensure that your meal is packed with flavor in every bite.
• Broil for Extra Char: If you want your chicken and veggies to develop a nice char, switch your oven to broil for the last couple minutes of baking.

Serving Suggestions

• Add a Garnish: I love garnishing this sheet pan dinner with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
• Mix & Match Veggies: Feel free to throw some additional vegetables into your bowl or use different ones, altogether.
• Serve over Rice: If you want to add another tasty element to this dinner, serve it with my Creamy Garlic Butter Parmesan Rice.
• Serve with a Drink: Nothing compliments this dinner like a homemade summer cocktail! Pair your chicken and veggies with my fruity Strawberry Lemonade Sangria.

How to Store and Reheat Leftovers

• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy them within 4 days.
• To extend the shelf life of your leftovers, you can store them in the freezer instead for up to 3 months. Just be sure to thaw out frozen leftovers before reheating them.
• You can reheat your chicken and vegetables in the microwave, on the stove or in the oven. To reheat them in the oven, cook them at 350˚F on a lightly greased pan.
