Ingredient Notes:

• Chicken Thighs – Boneless, skinless chicken breasts work well for this recipe. Cut or pound thicker pieces to an even thickness so they cook at the same rate.
• Broccoli Florets – Fresh broccoli roasts beautifully and develops slightly crisp edges in the oven. Keep the florets similar in size for even cooking.
• Olive Oil – Coating the chicken and vegetables in olive oil helps them brown and keeps everything from drying out.
• Seasonings – Italian Seasoning, Garlic Powder and Onion Powder
• Grated Parmesan – Helps make a nice crust.

Potatoes:

• Red Potatoes – Baby potatoes are perfect for sheet pan meals. Cut them into small, evenly sized pieces so they have enough time to become tender.

• Italian Seasoning
• Garlic Powder
• Salt
• Grated Parmesan

Tips for the Best Sheet Pan Chicken

• Cut your vegetables into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
• Give potatoes a head start since they take longer to roast than most vegetables.
• Don’t overcrowd the sheet pan. Leaving space between ingredients helps them roast instead of steam.
• Pound thick chicken breasts to an even thickness for more consistent cooking.
• Use a meat thermometer to prevent over or undercooking the chicken.
• For easier cleanup, line your sheet pan with parchment paper.
• If your chicken finishes before the vegetables, remove it from the pan and let the vegetables continue roasting.
