How to Make Sheet Pan Chicken & Veggies
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Season the Chicken
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and lemon juice.
- Coat the chicken breasts or thighs evenly with the seasoning mixture.
Step 3: Prepare the Veggies
- In another bowl, toss the broccoli, bell peppers, zucchini, and onion with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Mix well to coat everything evenly.
Step 4: Assemble on the Sheet Pan
- Place the seasoned chicken on one side of the baking sheet.
- Spread the veggies on the other side in a single layer.
Pro Tip: Make sure the veggies are spread out and not overcrowded to ensure crispiness!
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and the veggies are tender with crispy edges.
- If you like extra crispy veggies, broil for the last 2-3 minutes.
