- Avocado Oil – olive oil is a fine sub.
- Lemon Juice – fresh or bottled both work.

How to Make Sheet Pan Chicken with Vegetables
For complete instructions, please check out the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Preheat – preheat your oven to 450°F.
- Toss – add the chicken, chopped vegetables, avocado oil, lemon juice, and seasonings to a large sheet pan and toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Bake – bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F and the vegetables are tender.
Tips & Variations
- Naturally gluten-free and dairy-free – this recipe is already both, so it’s an easy one to serve a crowd with different needs.
- Protein swap – boneless, skinless chicken thighs work just as well as chicken breast if that’s what you have on hand.
- Veggie swap – use whatever’s in your fridge; broccoli, bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, carrots, and green beans are all great options for this chicken and vegetable sheet pan.
- Spice it up – add a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes for a little heat.
- Seasoning swap – swap the Italian seasoning for taco seasoning or a Cajun blend for a totally different flavor profile.
- Sheet pan size – if your veggies are steaming instead of roasting, split everything across two pans so nothing’s overcrowded.
Meal Prep & Storage
- Fridge – store in an airtight container for 3-4 days, per general USDA recommendations.
- Freezer – freeze for up to 1 month; thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
- Reheat – warm in the microwave or in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.

I made this for the first time this evening and used cauliflower, zucchini, brussels sprouts, and tomatoes. My husband, brother-in-law, and I all loved it. This recipe’s a keeper.
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback, Joyce! That veggie combo sounds amazing!!
Wow! I picked this recipe to try as my first “sheet dinner”. I am trying to get healthier, I’m doing the Whole30 and am salad out… I was skeptical … but I was so pleasantly surprised at how easy and incredibly tasty this recipe is! I used different veggies, but it was so good! I have a very picky teenager and he even ate it! So wow! Tasty, healthy and my teenager will eat it? I can’t ask for anything better than that! Thank you so much for this recipe! I will be trying more!
This comment means so much to me, thank you so much for taking the time to share! To me, this is what it’s all about – easy, enjoyable meals everyone can enjoy!
Looks delicious. Will try it and let you know. Just wondering how many this will serve?
Thanks, Rita! It serves 8, depending on how hungry people are (or if you have any tiny toddlers in your house like I do that may not eat as much as their dad) 😉 Any leftovers are fantastic to be frozen for another easy dinner or added to things like grain bowls, salads, and wraps the next day. 🙂 Let me know if I can help in any other way!
How much is in a serving?
Hi Kiara! The nutrition information is for 8 servings – so 4oz chicken pre-cooked (about 3-3.5 oz after cooking) and 1 cup vegetables pre-cooked (post-cooking amount will vary based on vegetables you used, as something like a mushroom may cook down a little more in volume than a carrot). Of course, I always recommend eating mindfully and in accordance to your personal hunger/ fullness cues – which often will differ than recommended serving sizes. Thanks! 🙂
Made this tonight for dinner, and enough to meal prep for the next few days. Delicious, very flavorful. I paired it with 1/2 cup of wild rice . Very satisfying.
Love the wild rice pairing, yum! Thanks so much!
