Introducing your new favorite weeknight meal: garlic sheet pan chicken and veggies! Packed with flavor from fresh herbs and garlic, you’ll want to make this one pan dish over and over.
It’s easy, healthy, and super versatile. Use whatever veggies you have in your fridge, whatever grains you have in your pantry, and you’ve got yourself a full meal!
One Pan Roasted Chicken Breast and Vegetables
Who doesn’t love a one pan, less mess meal?! Sheet pan meals make weeknight dinners quick and painless. Just toss everything in the garlic herb seasoning, place on a pan, and roast away!
Garlic and herbs accentuate the juicy chicken and crispy roasted veggies. I used broccoli, bell peppers, and zucchini here, but feel free to switch it up. Just keep in mind if you’re using heartier veggies like potatoes, sweet potatoes, and/or carrots, they’ll probably need to start roasting sooner than the chicken (because they’ll take longer to cook).
I also like to add a side of quinoa or brown rice to complete the meal! (Check out this post on how to cook quinoa for inspiration.)
Sheet Pan Garlic Chicken Ingredients
To make this recipe, you’ll need:
- chicken breasts
- vegetables (I used broccoli, zucchini, and bell peppers, but any combo would be great – cauliflower, green beans, carrots, brussels sprouts, etc.)
- garlic
- fresh rosemary
- fresh thyme
- olive oil
- salt & pepper
You can also use frozen vegetables here! You just might need to cook them longer. Here’s a guide on how to roast frozen veggies.
How to Make Sheet Pan Chicken & Veggies
Start by prepping your sauce and veggies.
First, chop your vegetables into bite-sized pieces, chop the fresh herbs, and mince the garlic. Then, in a small bowl or jar, combine chopped herbs, garlic, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk or shake to mix well.
Next, cover your sheet pan with a piece of parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup. Place your chicken breasts on top, and spread the veggies in a (mostly) single layer next to the chicken.
If you need/want to use two separate pans for your chicken and your veggies, that works too!
Next, pour half of the garlic herb mixture over the chicken breasts, and the other half over the vegetables. Toss to coat the veggies.
Bake at 375 degrees F for about 20 minutes. Then, use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken is fully cooked (it should be at least 165 degrees F).
Lastly, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes (this helps keep it juicy), then serve!
