People ask what is a sheet pan dinner.

I like to think of sheet pan dinners as everything on one pan.
That is, when the pan comes out of the oven for serving, everything is in one place and ready to eat.

This method of preparing food is a lot about the convenience.

That is, you really only dirty one sheet pan.
Also, omit a lot of the usual steps involved with prepare a meal by doing so.

You may be wondering can you cook raw chicken with vegetables.

That is the beauty of a sheet pan recipe.
You can cook or bake the chicken with the vegetables on one pan.

However, chicken needs to bake longer than vegetables by nature.
As a result, we will start by baking just the chicken.
Then we will add the vegetables to the sheet pan in order for everything to finish at the same time for serving.

Tips for making a sheet pan dinner.

This recipe works with any chicken piece however, it is made using thighs. If you decide to use legs, breast, etc. you may need to adjust the baking time as the thighs are larger.

Here are some more great tips for you.

1. I suggest that you use a clean paper towel to simply dap any liquid from the chicken before baking. This will allow for the chicken to get more crisp.
2. If you are someone who prefers their chicken without the skin on, I suggest that you still bake the chicken with the skin to keep it more moist. Then simply remove the skin before serving.
3. This dish looks better for presentation you can arrange the vegetables on the bottom. Then place the chicken on
   top of the vegetables.

What veggies are good with chicken in a sheet pan dish?

I have used carrots, potatoes, and broccoli.
This is because these vegetables add both their own color and their own flavor to this dish.

You can use whatever vegetables that your family or friends like.

This recipe works best when the vegetables are similar in size.
Consider choosing similar sized vegetables or slicing them to size.

How to store leftover sheet pan dinner.

You can simply reheat the food in a microwave or in the oven.
