Lemon Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner
Dinner can’t get any easier than cooking it all together on a sheet pan. Sheet pan dinners are ideal for busy weeknights when you don’t have time for prep and clean up. They are also ideal for picky eaters since you control where the ingredients go onto the pan.
Cooking for someone that doesn’t groove on green beans? Easy, just keep a portion of the pan-green bean free. 😉
First things first, you need to make sure you are using a sheet pan. You do not want to use a thin cookie sheet or a jelly roll pan. It will buckle under the heat or the sides won’t be high enough.
When we renovated our kitchen and I upgraded from a tiny space saver oven to a regular oven I measured the inside of it so I could order the biggest sheet pans that would fit.
I love, love, lurve my aluminum sheet pans, and highly recommend these, you can find them on Amazon.
This sheet pan dinner was such a hit in my house I actually made it three times in two weeks, which is a rarity in my house because we are always testing new recipes.
Not only was it tasty but it was ultra convenient. I was able to toss together this dinner in a matter of minutes leaving me about 45 minutes to get the kiddos started on homework and to squeeze in a quick run on the treadmill.
That is a real winner-winner-chicken-dinner. 🙂 There will be many more sheet pan dinners in my future, and I hope in yours too!
Sheet pan dinners are a god send. Love how simple this is to prepare and bake. Can’t wait to try it!
Thanks, Jessica!
I love easy dinners. Sometimes they end up being the best. I need to check out theses sheet pans though..sounds like a great way to prepare dinner!
Sheet pan dinners make cooking dinner so easy. I know I am always looking for something that is quick and easy during the week.
Sheet pan dinners are the best aren’t they!? This looks like a great one!
Thanks, Mindy! They are quickly becoming my favorite type of dinners.
One sheet pan dinners are my favorite and also a huge hit in my house. I’m always looking for inspirations and this lemon chicken looks really amazing. I’m adding this recipe in my next week meal planner… and sharing this off course 😉
I hope you enjoy, Natalie!
I’ve recently come across this idea while I was back visiting my brother and sister in-law. They did it with a whole chicken that’s spatchcock over the veggies. I actually did this last week and ended up making soup later in the week with the leftovers and carcass.
That sounds delicious! I did a spatchcock turkey on the grill twice this Fall and made soups with the leftovers.
