Storage Tips
Serve: Serve this hearty dinner over fluffy quinoa, buttery rice, or a salad. You can keep the chicken and veggies out for no longer than two hours before they need to be covered and stored.
Store: Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
Freeze: Once some of the veggies like the squash and peas are cooked, they do not freeze, thaw, and reheat well. Therefore, I do not recommend freezing this recipe.
Recipe FAQs
Can you cook raw chicken and vegetables in the same pan?
Yes, as long as everything in the sheet pan is fully cooked. This recipe uses boneless, skinless chicken breasts. If you use chicken thighs, you will need to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
How do I prevent the chicken and vegetables from sticking to the sheet pan?
Use parchment paper or if using a nonstick sheet pan, brush olive oil all over the bottom of the pan before adding the chicken and vegetables. This will ensure nothing will stick to the pan.
What temperature do you cook a sheet pan meal at?
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. It should take about thirty minutes to cook. Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.

Sheet Pan Chicken with Vegetables
Recipe Cost 8.95 Serving Cost 2.24
Recipe Cost $ 8.95 Serving Cost $ 2.24Ingredients
- 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast about 3 small or 2 large, butterflied open and separated
For the marinade
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil + more for the sheet pan
- ½ tsp dried mint
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp coarse black pepper or to taste
- 1 tbsp Turkish red pepper paste leveled off
- 2 tbsp water
For the vegetables
- 3 Roma tomatoes cut in half
- 2 yellow squash cut into roundels
- 1 cup frozen petite peas
To garnish
- Optional: 1 lemon to squeeze all over the sheet pan once roasted
Instructions
Make the marinade
- In a large mixing bowl, add the olive oil, red pepper paste, all the spices, and water. Mix with a whisk to help incorporate the ingredients, creating a thick marinade.
- Next, add the butterflied, and separated chicken in with the marinade. Toss to fully coat each one. Set aside for 10 minutes.
Prepare to Bake
- Preheat the oven to 400 °F
- Add a drizzle of olive oil to the sheet pan and paint all over with a brush or paper towel.
- Next, put all of the veggies on top of the pan and spread them out. Season the veggies with a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Give a toss to season all sides. Ensure that the veggies are still spread out.
- When ready, place the chicken in with the vegetable and place the pan into the pre-heated oven set at 400 °F and bake for 30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 °F. Now set the oven to low broil for 5 additional minutes. This will help create nice brown edges, around the veggies and chicken.
- Finally, once fully cooked, and while still hot, grab half a lemon and squeeze lemon juice all over the pan. This is optional, but I highly recommend it.
- Enjoy!
