Ingredients and Variations

Chicken: Chicken breasts, chicken thighs, or even chicken drumsticks can be used in a sheet pan dinner. For extra flavor toss in some slices of summer sausage too.

Vegetables: Potatoes, peas, and fresh or frozen mixed veggies are perfect in a sheet pan dinner. Mushrooms, halved Brussels sprouts, corn cobs cut into bite-size pieces, thick coins of zucchini, asparagus, and chunks of red onion and red bell peppers will all caramelize nicely and bring on new flavors.

Seasoning: Homemade seasoned salt and Italian seasoning are quick and easy to make and the ingredients can be adjusted to suit your preference. Or toss chicken and veggies in a zesty Adobo blend and serve with warm tortillas and wedges of lime.

Variations: This recipe is perfect for using what you’ve got! Mix up the proteins and use salmon or shrimp for an old-fashioned shrimp boil, or use leftover beef or pork.

Holly’s Best Tips and Tricks

  • Prep the pan with parchment paper for faster cleanup.
  • Don’t crowd the pan. If necessary, use two sheet pans
  • Chop potatoes, carrots, and squash into uniform sizes so they cook evenly.
  • Starchy veggies like potatoes, squash, and carrots need to be cooked a little first, but you can prep the rest of the dish ahead.
  • Keep leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
