Sheet Pan Baked Chicken & Vegetables
A fantastic meal completely prepared on a sheet pan and baked in the oven. Chicken and all of your favorite vegetables with olive oil then seasoned with basil, thyme, salt and drizzled with balsamic vinegar (optional). You won’t believe how a meal this simple can taste this good!
Ingredients – I didn’t have room
on the pan for the Brussels
Sprouts so I didn’t use them. Also,
add olive oil to the ingredients.
Lightly coat a large sheet pan with
olive oil and add the chicken.
Turn the chicken over coating
both sides with the olive oil.
Place prepared vegetables
(patted dry with a paper towel) onto the pan.
Drizzle with olive oil, tossing the
vegetables to coat with the olive oil.
Sprinkle the basil,
thyme and salt on top.
We like a lot of herbs but you
can add as much as you want.
Drizzle the balsamic vinegar on top (optional).
Bake in a preheated 450 degree oven for
35 – 45 minutes or until the chicken is
165 degrees and the vegetables are tender.
Using tongs, carefully toss the
vegetables after 20 minutes.
Place on serving plates and enjoy!

Greta recipe!
Thank you it turned out really good!
Great*
Thank you Saania!
My pleasure ❤️
Easy and delicious
Looks wonderful! Definitely trying this!
I always made the veggies this way but throwing the chicken on the pan too was a huge hit! Thank you Dawn!
This is me! Color and flavor…you’ve got me off to the market for veggies. I’ll even walk!
It will be worth the walk! The reason I made this is that I had so many veggies I needed to use up. My husband stopped at the store for the chicken..hahaha Oh, and he drove!
Thanks for dinner sometime this week 😁👍🏻
You are more than welcome!!! Enjoy!
We did as a matter of fact! They were awesome!
Great idea!
Thank you Nancy it was really good!
Thank you for reblogging this! This has become one of our favorite meals. Have a great weekend.
Yummy, Diane! I always roast veggies…don’t know why I didn’t think of adding the chicken! Happy New Year…Sweet Blessings for a wonderful year.
Don’t feel bad this is the first time I thought of it too! It was so nice to have everything on one pan and all of it ready at the same time. I hope you have a wonderful 2020 as well Lorrie!
Great way to start getting back on track!
Thank you I’m trying…lol
The dish on the plate looks extremely colorful, so it encourages to eat.
Regards
Thank you Ultra!
Thanks Diane. Quick question: do you have to turn the chicken at any point or just vegetables? Gonna try this one but thought to check on the chicken turning before. Thanks in advance.
No turning once it is in the oven. I like to turn it on the oiled pan just to coat it lightly with oil before cooking. Enjoy we loved this!
Thank youuuu
I love these all-in-one sheet pan meals. We marinate the chicken with some lemon olive oil and sprinkle it with lemon pepper, if you fancy that slight taste of lemon. So yammie! Thanks for reminding me of that simple but delicious meal.
Oh, you could also make some space between the veggies and add an egg for each person. You will end up having a beautiful fried egg after you had it in the oven. I would then leave away the meat. 😋😋😋
I love lemon and what a great idea with the egg!!! Thank you!
You are so very welcome! I hope you gonna love it.
Looks absolutely delish!
OMG Valerie it was amazing!!! I have made a balsamic veggie pan before but I decided to put chicken on the pan this time and am I glad I did!! Thank you so much!
The baked chicken and vegetables look yummy. I like how you showed how you arranged everything on the baking sheet with the chicken at the edges.
Thank you Sheryl! I was disappointed I couldn’t get the Brussels Sprouts on though. If you put them on they need to go in the center as they tend to burn on the edges. The chicken is on the edges because it gets hotter there and I want to make sure they are completely cooked. This was SO GOOD! Have a great weekend!
This sounds delicious. I always like adding herbs to food. I think the dish would be very tasty with other meat and with meat substitutes, too.
You’re right! This was the first time I added meat to it. I always just baked it with veggies and potatoes in the past. Someone even suggested eggs! Thank you Linda!
I love baked Vegetables.. I like to bake in microwave but it’s not as good as oven baked.
My favorite potato recipe is with red potatoes in the microwave. My mother in law asks for them when ever she eats here. Not too healthy though because I put tons of butter in them…lol
Lol!! Well heart wants what the heart wants!! Chek out my garlicky potatoes recipes, may be your mother in law will like it too, you can sure make it in lots of butter.
I did not see the asparagus in the toss-up, only in the things-you-need photo and final plating. It couldn’t possibly take as long as carrots? Added later?… After the first 20 min? No cover on this? Don’t tell me hubby does oven detail as well as bacon?😊
Haha no this was all me! I put the asparagus in the middle because the pan doesn’t get as hot there. They were covered up with the other veggies. The same with brussels sprouts if you use them, they should go in the middle so they don’t over cook. No cover on this and the carrots weren’t super soft. I should have cut them into thirds but my husband loves them cooked this way (like Al dente carrots….lol) The asparagus and everything else was cooked wonderfully. You could add the asparagus later if you want to though.
Got it. Looks really yummy on a cold night and keeping hose warm too while baking. Good news on my company. Will post this weekend once I finish tax prep AND wrap my head around my good fortune.😊
Oh I can’t wait to see!!!! I’m behind on my reader so hopefully I get caught up and see it soon!!!
Yum! I’m definitely going to try this recipe!
We loved it Liz and it was so nice to have a complete meal all on one pan. Thank you and enjoy!
Thanks! I have some veggies that are on their last legs and was JUST thinking I was going to have to hunt down a time and temperature for roasting them in the oven. Then voila! This recipe popped up in my Feedly!!!!
I appreciate you showing us the final picture with the veggies all separated out so that I can see how big the sweet potato slices should be. When a recipe says 1/2″ or 1″ or whatever I can’t see that in my mind and I don’t think I own a ruler. LOL. Your picture is VERY HELPFUL!!!
Your welcome! Perfect timing and I’m glad the pictures helped!
Tried to like this but for some reason it didn’t work so I thought I’d say great recipe. Here in the UK we call them tray-bakes and I love them
Oh that’s strange maybe WP is acting up. But anyhow, thank you and I like the name tray-bakes!!!
Wonderful (as always of course)
😘😘😘 Thank you!!!!!
My pleasure 🙂
Colorful veggies are the best thing to eat – it sure made for a colorful header image Diane.
Thanks Linda! This was the first time that I added chicken. I always just used the veggies in the past.
You are innovative Diane … your family is never bored with your meals, that is for sure.
Cool! I’ve never made sheet pan veggies with chicken. Nice idea.
Thanks!!! I don’t know why I didn’t add chicken before. Entire meal ready at the same time. So easy!
I guess I’ve found my to go to blog for chicken recipes. Thanks for the inspiration!
Aww thank you for the nice comment. I will be posting more!
Sounds yummy! We like lots of herbs too. Can’t wait until we can get the fresh herbs again. Soon! Very Soon!
I agree Lisa! Thank you!
This look dee-lish already, but then you added the balsamic vinaiger drizzle! Yummmm! Will be trying this one. 🙂
Thank you! I am such a sucker for balsamic vinegar. It was so good.
This looks delish, and I love the convenience of one pan!
Yes less dishes too! Thank you 💕
