Using just one sheet pan, this dish combines tender, juicy chicken thighs with a medley of vegetables for an easy, complete dinner with minimal cleanup.

This sheet-pan crispy chicken is an all-in-one meal that delivers big flavor with minimal cleanup. The trick lies in the clever use of the sheet pan: tender vegetables roast in the center, while the chicken cooks along the outer edges where the oven runs hotter. This allows the chicken to develop a golden, crispy crust with just a light coating of cooking spray.

This sheet-pan mojo chicken is a bold, citrusy dinner that’s easy to throw together on a single pan. The chicken marinates in a zesty blend of citrus juices and oregano, infusing it with Cuban-inspired flavors. Instead of discarding all of the marinade, the onions and garlic are removed and roasted on the chicken as a savory topping that adds extra depth. Crisp-tender green beans and red potatoes round out the meal, soaking up the flavorful juices as they roast.

This sheet-pan chicken and mushroom recipe features kale, mushrooms and beans—all prebiotic foods that offer plenty of fiber to help you maintain a healthy gut.

Sheet-Pan Balsamic Chicken & Asparagus
Ali Redmond
This chicken and asparagus recipe is a simple one-pan meal that’s perfect for busy weeknights. Chicken cutlets are coated in a tangy-sweet balsamic glaze, roasting right alongside tender asparagus for an easy, well-balanced dinner. If you don’t have chicken cutlets on hand, you can easily make your own by slicing two 8-ounce chicken breasts in half horizontally. The thin cut ensures quicker, more even cooking, so everything on the sheet pan finishes at the same time for a fuss-free, delicious dinner.
