Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 lb broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Add the broccoli florets, chopped bell peppers, and red onion wedges to the same bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat all the vegetables evenly.
- Spread the seasoned chicken and vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure the ingredients are not overcrowded to allow for even cooking. This is a crucial step for a perfect sheet pan chicken dinner.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. For an optimal sheet pan chicken meal, you can flip the ingredients halfway through baking.
- Serve your easy chicken sheet pan dinner immediately. Enjoy this quick chicken and veggie bake!
Notes
- You can substitute chicken breasts for thighs, but adjust cooking time as they can dry out faster.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini, cherry tomatoes, or sweet potatoes.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning.
- This sheet pan chicken recipe is versatile; adjust seasonings to your preference.
