A vibrant Lemon Herb Chicken & Veggie Sheet Pan recipe, designed for busy weeknights, offering a quick, nourishing, and delicious meal in just 30 minutes. It's versatile, easy to prepare, and aims to simplify healthy eating for families.

  • Total Time: 30 mins
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
3 cups Broccoli Florets
2 medium Bell Peppers
1 small Red Onio
3 tablespoons Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Dried Italian Seasoning
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
0.5 teaspoon Paprika
0.5 teaspoon Salt
0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup
  2. Prepare your chicken and vegetables. Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. Chop the broccoli into florets, slice the bell peppers, and roughly chop the red onion. Uniform pieces help everything cook evenly
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed chicken, broccoli florets, chopped bell peppers, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything really well to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated
  4. Spread the seasoned chicken and vegetables in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure roasting instead of steaming; use two pans if necessary
  5. Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C) and the vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly caramelized. Halfway through cooking, give everything a gentle toss with a spatula
  6. Once cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately

Notes

Prep components ahead of time, such as chopping vegetables or cubing chicken, to save precious minutes on busy weeknights.

Avoid overcrowding the sheet pan to ensure ingredients roast and caramelize properly instead of steaming. Use two pans or cook in batches if necessary.

Feel free to customize this recipe by swapping proteins like chicken thighs, shrimp, or pork, and vegetables like cauliflower, green beans, or sweet potatoes, to suit your preferences or what you have on hand.
