Sheet Pan Chicken And Veggies, perfectly seasoned with garlic and parmesan, all in one pan—ideal for meal prep!
author’s note
The Chicken And Veggies Recipe That Never Gets Old!
One of the most popular recipes on my site is a one-pan sausage and veggie dinner. After I asked my followers what they wanted more of, the top request was clear: easy, high-protein dinners that didn’t require a sink full of dishes.
My mind immediately went back to those one-pan meals. They’re fast, flexible, and perfect for meal prep. I started testing a version with chicken, potatoes, and a mix of colorful vegetables, and after a few rounds in the oven, this garlic-parmesan version became the clear winner.
The first time I made it, I served it over quinoa for lunch bowls the next day, and the containers were gone before midweek. That’s when I knew this one needed a permanent spot on the site.
Sheet Pan Chicken And Veggies Ingredients
| Ingredient | Swap or tip |
|---|---|
| Chicken breasts | Cut into small, even pieces so everything cooks at the same rate. Chicken thighs also work. |
| Baby potatoes | Red or gold potatoes both roast beautifully. Cut larger ones into quarters. |
| Broccoli | Swap for cauliflower, green beans, or zucchini. |
| Onion | Cut into large chunks so it roasts instead of burning. |
| Lemon | Zest first, then juice. The zest adds big flavor. |
| Olive oil | Helps everything roast and brown evenly. |
| Parmesan cheese | Freshly grated melts better and adds the best flavor. |
How To Make Sheet Pan Chicken And Veggies
- Prep Chicken: Cut chicken, toss with half the spices, olive oil, and lemon. Chill.
- Prep Veggies: Chop veggies. Toss with olive oil and the rest of the spices.
- Roast Veggies: Roast veggies on a tray at 425°F for 20 mins.
- Add Chicken: Move veggies aside, add broccoli and garlic, then place chicken on the tray. Roast.
- Finish: Optional: Broil for 1–2 mins. Top with Parm and serve.

Equipment
- Large sheet pan (15" x 21")
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 large lemon
- 5 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 heaping cup baby carrots sliced in half, 5 ounces
- 1-1/2 heaping cups baby red potatoes sliced, 1/2 pound
- 1 large yellow onion coarsely chopped
- 1 head broccoli chopped, 1 heaping cup
- 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
- freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup quinoa or rice, for meal prep, optional
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
- Dab chicken breasts with paper towel to dry. Remove any fat and chop the chicken into 1/2-inch pieces. Place in a medium bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine parsley, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, seasoned salt, and pepper. If desired, mix in the red pepper flakes. Stir to combine, then add half the seasoning mix to the chicken with 2 tablespoons olive oil and the zest and juice of 1 lemon. With your fingers, toss the chicken, olive oil, lemon, and seasoning mix until chicken is well coated. Cover and place in the fridge for 30 minutes (while everything else cooks).
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a very large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy clean-up. Halve the baby carrots lengthwise, Halve the baby red potatoes (or quarter for large ones), and coarsely chop the onion (halve it, halve each half, then cut each half into 2 or 3 sections—see pictures for general size).
- Place carrots, red potatoes, and onion on the prepared sheet pan. Add another 2 tablespoons olive oil and most of the remaining seasoning mix (leave 1 teaspoon). Toss with your hands to generously coat everything and place in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, chop broccoli into bite-sized pieces. Remove pan from oven. Toss the veggies and move them to half the sheet pan. Add broccoli and minced garlic to the other half and toss with the last tablespoon olive oil and last teaspoon of seasoning mix. Toss to coat, then toss the broccoli with the other veggies and section to half the tray.
- Remove chicken from the fridge and drain off all the liquid (I like to pick up the chicken with a cupped hand and shake it off a few times). Add to the sheet pan and ensure the chicken pieces are separated (not on top of each other) so they can fully cook.
- Return to the oven and cook another 15–20 minutes or until chicken registers 165°F and vegetables are to desired tenderness. While the sheet pan is in the oven, change to a high broil and cook 1–2 more minutes (adds a nice char). Watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Remove from oven and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and enjoy immediately or use for meal prep.
- To meal prep: prepare 1 cup uncooked quinoa or rice according to package directions and separate it evenly into 4 containers. Place an even amount of the sheet pan dinner into each container. Cover and place in the fridge. Enjoy by warming in the microwave.

I made this last night, it was so good and flavorful, definitely adding this to my dinner rotation.
I am so happy to hear this! Thanks so much Dawn! 🙂
Is this able to be converted to using the air fryer instead?
My kids never agree on anything and that definitely includes whatever I make for dinner. I tried this recipe last week and We all got seconds. I’m actually making again tonight because my son asked for it. 5 stars
I am SO thrilled to hear this! Thanks so much Amanda! 🙂
Can thighs be substituted?
They won’t cook at the same rate (thighs take longer!)
I added sweet potatoes to this and man it was amazing!!
That sounds amazing! So glad you enjoyed!!
Have made this a few times now and really like the flavor. You organized the baking order and times so well that the root veggies always come out so tender and delicious. The first time I made it, I eyeballed the veggies and ended up using two
sheet pans. Now I make it that way to ensure we have lots of leftovers. Also, though it adds another dish to wash, I like to put the veggies in large bowl, add the spice and oil, stir it up then pour it into the sheet pan. Less messy for me.
We eat this over rice and add a splash of balsamic vinaigrette for moisture (I have trouble swallowing drier foods). Feels good to get all these healthy items into one tasty meal!
I am so happy to hear this Lisa! Thank you so much, and thanks for the tips! 🙂
This recipe was great! I used less salt than in the recipe and it was very flavorful. Everyone in my family (even my picky eater!) loved it!
I am so happy to hear this! Thanks Kate! 🙂
This was delicious! I actually cut the chicken up and put it in a container with the marinade and left in fridge and did the same with the broccoli and put it in a baggie and carrots, potatoes & onions in another baggie with seasoning too. I did all this at noon so I could drive 2 hours to visit my son in the hospital & cook it when I got home. It was fabulous! Thank you!
So happy to hear that! 🙂 Thanks Laura!
This looks wonderful, however I unfortunately do not have a lemon. Any suggestions on what (if anything) to use instead?
I’d just leave it out!
Super Yummy and easy to make! Marinated the chicken for a few hours first. Just excellent with recipe as is!
Thanks so much Patricia! I’m so glad you enjoyed! 🙂
