Why Sheet Pan Meals are the Best
When you want to serve a nutritious meal that is quick, easy to clean up, and doesn’t involve the hassle of making a main dish and multiple sides, sheet pan meals are the answer! If only I had discovered sheet pan dinners year ago when I was working full time and my kids were small! Dinner time always felt rushed and not very “well thought out” during those busy days. After realizing the beauty of this method, I developed a few basic recipes that my family members all loved and have continued to create new versions like this Italian Chicken and Veggies.
To create your own sheet pan dinner, pick your favorite protein, potato/veggie, and seasoning combo and bake it all on one pan! Of course it helps to choose ingredients with similar baking times, but you can also bake the ingredients in stages if needed, i.e. starting with potatoes that take longer to cook and adding meat and veggies later.

Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breast

How to Make Sheet Pan Italian Chicken & Veggies
Begin by preparing a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the chicken, veggies, oil, and seasonings in a large bowl until coated.
Spread the chicken and veggies on the baking sheet in a single layer and bake!
Garnish and serve with fresh parsley and/or parmesan, and add a side of rice if desired.
How to Prepare this Meal in Advance
Preparing the ingredients ahead of time can be a life saver on busy nights. Set yourself up for success by simply chopping the veggies and making the Italian seasoning up to 2-3 days in advance and then throwing it all together when ready to eat. Dinner is served in 20 minutes with zero effort!
