Sheet Pan Chicken Dinner

My friend had told me about this sheet pan cooking and how much she loved it for time saving and it’s deliciousness. So I had to check it out, and see how good it is; and I love it. I love the simplicity of it and how tasty everything turned out. Not to mention that there is only one pan to clean up!

I used some baby potatoes, a giant sweet potatoe, asparagus and two chicken breasts. I cut the chicken to chicken tender sizes, and the sweet potatoe into chunks that were similar in size to the baby potatoes.

The only trick is to have a timer that works and then put your food on the sheet pan in stages. I like cooking in stages because if you have something like asparagus and potatoes on the same pan the asparagus will be mushy before the potatoes are done.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb asparagus (green beans would be really good too)
  • 2 chicken breast, sliced into chicken tender sizes
  • 1 large sweet potatoe (carrots would be a great substitute)
  • 1 lb baby potatoes
  • 2 Tbspn Olive oil
  • 1-2 tspn salt
  • 1-2 tspn pepper
  • 2 cloves of garlic, peeled

Directions

  • Pre heat the oven to 400°
  • Slice the chicken breasts into chicken tender sizes.
  • Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into about the same size as the baby potatoes.
  • Place the chicken on the pan, both types of potatoes and the peeled garlic and drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Place in a pre heated 400° oven for 20-25 minutes.
  • When the potatoes are almost done, put the asparagus on the sheet and cook for another 10-15 minutes.
  • Always check the chicken to make sure it is thoroughly cooked before serving, and enjoy!
