All the ingredients for this Sheet Pan Chicken & Veggies are cooked on one baking sheet, so you have less hands-on time and less clean up!
Cooking everything in or on one skillet, dish, or baking sheet is such a time saver. Dare I even say a lifesaver since it means less cleanup.
A baking sheet is one of my favorite tools to make an easy meal that doesn't require much effort or hands-on time. Chop a few veggies, add some protein and/or carbohydrates, and bake.
Done. And now you're happy & satisfied.
When I was home the other week, I didn't have much trouble convincing Joy to make a recipe video with me because we love to cook together.
But we didn't have much time before her play practice started, so we needed an easy recipe that would also double as dinner when everyone got home from their afternoon activities.
So obviously, we made a meal all on one baking sheet because like I said before, one sheet/dish/skillet/whatever saves tons of time.
I was excited to get all those veggies in this dish especially since I needed extra veggies after Mardi Gras. And all the veggies were starting to look a little less than fresh.
That being said, this recipe is an excellent way to use up your produce that is starting to not look brand new.
You can serve this recipe with a side of cooked rice, quinoa, potatoes, whatever. I used one of those prepared bags of rice/quinoa to keep this meal quick & simple.
A little note. We used one teaspoon of oregano because I love oregano, but the kids were less than excited about that amount of oregano.
So I decreased the oregano for my second testing (not filmed or photographed) and thought it tasted just as good - and would probably be better received by kids who don't love "spicy"
