Some weeknights, I want a homemade dinner on the table without turning the kitchen into a whole project. That is exactly when sheet pan chicken dinners come to the rescue.
You can toss chicken and vegetables onto one pan, add plenty of flavor, and let the oven do most of the work while you take care of everything else that needs to happen before dinner. Even better, cleanup is usually much easier than it would be with a traditional meal.
I pulled together 17 easy sheet pan chicken dinners with plenty of variety, from honey mustard and hot honey chicken to Greek-inspired flavors, fajitas, shawarma, and classic chicken Parmesan.
Every recipe below links directly to an individual recipe, so you can choose whatever sounds good tonight and get cooking.
