Why You’ll Love this Healthy Sheet Pan Chicken and Veggies

• Easy. The simple meal gets a lot of flavor from basic pantry staples, and comes together with about 20 minutes of prep. No fussing on the stovetop or babysitting a skillet, and no fancy ingredients necessary.
• One Pan. You can put raw chicken on a baking sheet and cook the chicken and veggies in the same pan, so you have fewer dishes to wash at the end.
• Good for You. With lean protein and a tray full of vegetables, this satisfying meal is full of nourishing ingredients. And since you’re cooking at home, you can control the amount of salt that you add, as well as the amount of barbecue sauce if you’d like to control the sugar. It’s perfect for healthy meal prep!
• Flexible. If you prefer dark meat chicken, you can sub with boneless skinless chicken thighs or bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. Similarly, you can mix up the veggies to use your family’s favorites. Try potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, or sliced zucchini.

Sheet Pan Chicken Recipe Variations

• If you prefer to use bone-in chicken breast, these larger chicken pieces will need about 40-50 minutes in the 400°F oven (so wait to add the vegetables to the tray until about halfway through roasting). Bone-in chicken thighs will need about 35-40 minutes.
• Instead of seasoning the chicken with the suggested spices, use a prepared bbq dry rub — either this homemade bbq rub or a store-bought blend.
• Add cayenne to the seasoning mix for a spicy kick, or include chili powder or cumin for a zesty, smoky flavor.
• Swap out the vegetables for just about any of your favorites. Larger, heartier vegetables like potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and carrots will require a longer roasting time, so you’ll want to give them about a 20-minute head start before adding the chicken. You might also like to try sliced zucchini or cauliflower.
• For a different flavor profile, baste the chicken with honey mustard rather than bbq sauce.
