sheet pan supper roast chicken and vegetables

The glory of these meals is that they are so versatile. Don’t like my vegetable selection? Just switch it out. Rather have a different cut of meat or chicken? It’s easy to sub in a boneless pork tenderloin, fish, or  boneless skinless chicken thighs would also taste great.

Here are a few tips I learned for awesome sheet pan supper roast chicken:

1)Keep your vegetables near the same size so they cook evenly. If you have a more dense vegetable like butternut squash or potatoes, put them in with the chicken and add softer veggies like squash or zucchini after the first ten minutes.

2) I chose bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts because they come out juicy and perfect. BUT they are huge–like Dolly Parton huge–and may take longer to cook because of that. That’s also why I suggest putting them in a few minutes ahead so you don’t end up with overcooked vegetables and under done chicken. Check it’s temperature (or cut it open if you have to) and if it’s not at 160 or it’s pink at the 30 minute mark, take the vegetables off the pan and give the chicken a few more minutes.

3) Don’t use fresh herbs here. They will burn in an oven this hot. That’s no bueno.

Make this sheet pan supper roast chicken the way your family likes it best. Baste it in BBQ sauce or toss in some pesto at the end and you can do dinner even faster if you have your vegetables already chopped and ready to go in the fridge. Smart. Enjoy it everyone!

  1. I love sheet pan dinners…been doing them for years and years. I just didn’t realize it was a ‘thing’ until recently! I made one last night that included fingerling potatoes, perfect size for quick cooking. Lovely recipe…as usual!
