Sheet Pan Chicken Dinners! One-pan, mess-free, vegetable-loaded, and an easy, dreamy weeknight meal. SO GOOD!
Imagine tender chicken, perfectly roasted potatoes, and crisp veggies all cooked on one pan and ready in minutes.
1. Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas
I am not even kidding, this recipe has become the go-to meal in my household, on repeat. It has all my favorite fajita players, including bell pepper, red onion, and chicken, and it makes your Tex-Mex night just unbelievably simple.
This is one of those meals that your family will ask for again and again. Serve it all up with a side of tortillas, salsa, and sour cream for a total feast.
2. Baked Chicken Parmesan
Chicken Parmesan is just one of those classic family dinners, and guess what? It turns out absolutely flawless when you bake it on a sheet pan.
We’re talking an inside that stays nice and juicy while the outside gets that ideal crunch. YES.
Add in some roasted broccoli and you have a comforting, home-style meal that just goes straight to the heart. If you feel like you need a little something extra, you can serve this on a bed of riced cauliflower for more sustenance.
3. One-Pan Garlic Roasted Chicken and Baby Potatoes
Having a hard time figuring out dinner tonight? You just cannot go wrong with roasted chicken and baby potatoes. The two are a completely flawless pair, basically begging to get roasted on a sheet pan.
With a simple seasoning of rosemary and garlic, the succulent chicken and fork-tender potatoes are just utter perfection. Dinner is DONE.
4. Sheet Pan Pesto Chicken and Vegetables
Got some pesto and balsamic hanging out in your pantry? Use them to jazz up your chicken and veggies tonight.
You could go with a bunch of different options for the vegetable part, but I love how this recipe keeps it simple with just carrots and potatoes. So. So. Good.
5. 30-Minute Sheet Pan Chicken with Veggies (Paleo & Whole30)
Just take all the guesswork out of dinner and make this tonight. Seriously. In just 30 minutes, you can have juicy chicken thighs and veggies ready to fill you up.
This recipe uses a beautiful melody of sweet potato, broccoli, and bell pepper, but you can totally use whatever you have on hand.
And even though the ingredients are humble, the sauce brings the whole thing home. It’s a completely unique sweet and savory mix of dates, coconut aminos, and spice. YUM.
6. Sheet Pan Buffalo Chicken Pizza
I have a really good feeling you’ll want to throw a pizza party just to make this pie. The topping is an out-of-this-world combo of shredded buffalo chicken, fresh herbs, and four different kinds of cheese.
And it even gets extra buffalo sauce and ranch dressing drizzled on top to finish it all off. HOLY PIE.
7. Greek Chicken and Potatoes
I am obsessed with how this recipe is both light and filling at the very same time. Lemon and parsley give the chicken and potatoes a wonderfully fresh taste that will not let you down.
For even more oomph, marinate your chicken and then slather some more of that lemony dressing on top right after it’s done roasting. It’s a total flavor bomb.
8. Sheet Pan Chicken Nachos
Feeling that snack attack coming on? Sheet pan chicken nachos are here to the rescue. A layer of tortilla chips gets completely overloaded with melty cheese, black beans, and slow cooker Mexican chicken.
Feel free to use store-bought chicken to save some time. And please don’t forget a generous helping of guacamole. When you need easy chicken recipes, it just doesn’t get better than this.
9. Sheet Pan Chicken and Asparagus
This is another one of my weeknight favorites. Asparagus and chicken are a perfect match, both in flavor and for roasting up on a pan.
This recipe is Paleo and gluten-free and packed with nourishment, so it’s amazing for those nights when you want a clean eating meal that doesn’t skip out on taste. It’s a win-win.
10. Easy Baked Italian Chicken and Veggie Foil Packets
How do you make a sheet pan dinner even easier? The answer is this foil packet recipe right here. You’ll just toss some chicken, veggies, and Italian seasoning into a little foil packet, then bake it on a sheet pan.
It’s not only ridiculously simple to put together, but it also makes cleanup an absolute breeze. If that wasn’t good enough, the foil captures all the yummy juices and seasoning to infuse the chicken and veggies with the most flavor possible. Delicious.
11. Sheet Pan Balsamic Chicken with Potatoes and Carrots
Between the vitamins, protein, and carbs, this sheet pan dinner totally checks all the boxes. It even gets bonus points for its delectable flavors.
Balsamic vinegar and honey add a sweet and tangy element that is going to knock your socks off. It’s a simple step that transforms this dish into an elegant savory meal that’s perfect for a weeknight and totally fit for a holiday.
12. One-Pan Chicken and Artichokes
If you’re trying to cut down on carbs, you can replace the potatoes with artichokes. This four-ingredient recipe is just about as tasty and minimal as it gets.
You’ll marinate some skinned chicken breast in jarred artichokes, and don’t forget to include the liquid from the jar, too! After it’s done roasting, sprinkle on some Parmesan, and your low-carb, sheet pan dinner is ready to go.
13. Easy Sheet Pan Harissa Chicken
If you’ve never tried harissa before, please hear me say this: you need to give this recipe a try. Harissa adds a fiery kick that pairs exceptionally well with the sweetness of the sweet potatoes.
You can either make a harissa paste from scratch or grab some from the store. If you choose the store-bought route, all you have to do is coat the chicken and veggies, and then bake them. It’s that easy!
14. One-Pan Hoisin Chicken and Veggies
Dry chicken is just not a problem with this recipe. The hoisin sauce coats every single ingredient to infuse them with flavor and keep them from drying out.
I like to add a little bit of Sriracha, but you can leave that out if you don’t care for spice. Sweet, savory, and umami, the Asian flavoring of this meal is super tasty and doesn’t need a long list of ingredients to make.
15. Sheet Pan Sweet and Sour Chicken
If you prefer a little sour with your sweet sauce, give this one a try instead. Rice vinegar is the sour element, while the pineapple brings the sweet.
Add in the other ingredients, and you’ll have a delicious sauce that is perfect for a chicken dinner. As for what should go with the chicken, pineapple, bell pepper, and red onions pair the best.
It’s like a deconstructed Hawaiian kabob, which is one of my favorites!
16. Sheet Pan Sesame Chicken and Veggies
The best chicken dinner recipes should be full of flavor, packed with nutrients, and not take a ton of fuss. And that is exactly why this 25-minute meal makes the list.
It’s a completely foolproof mix of boneless chicken breast, broccoli, bell peppers, and snap peas. Meanwhile, the Asian sauce is a beautiful balance of sweet and spicy. It’s a must-make!
17. Sheet Pan Chicken with Broccoli, Carrots, & Ranch
It is just amazing what a homemade ranch can do to elevate a simple chicken dinner. Between the seasoning and the apple cider vinegar, this ranch dressing is sublime. By themselves, broccoli and carrots might not sound all that exciting.
But once you pair them with this sauce and some mouthwatering chicken, you will quickly change your mind. Trust me.
