I was a little late to the sheet pan dinner party and boy am I realizing what I’ve been missing out on! Sheet pan dinners are such a great option and not just for when you’re short on time. All of the sheet pan meals that I have tried, or created myself, have been extremely flavorful! I also especially love that the mess is minimal, making clean up a cinch! I love to cook and bake, but I despise cleaning up afterwards.
For this Sheet Pan Italian Chicken recipe, I season the chicken with a little garlic and Italian seasoning then cook it on the same baking sheet as the potatoes and peppers. When cooking the chicken on the same pan, the flavors all just meld together. The juice from the chicken mixes with the garlic, seasoning, and peppers to create the best tasting “sauce” that all of the components of this dish end up covered in.
So, while this sheet pan dinner recipe is easy enough for the busiest of weeknights, I’d go as far to say it’s impressive enough for serving guests as well!
How to Make Sheet Pan Italian Chicken with Potatoes and Peppers
Prep!
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cut the potatoes in bite-size pieces, about 1-inch or less in size. We’ll prep the shallot and peppers a bit later.
Create!
Place chicken on a lightly oiled sheet pan.
Melt the butter in a sauce pan or in a microwave oven and stir in the garlic. Brush a small amount on to the tops of the chicken breasts. Reserve the remaining butter.
Season the tops of chicken with salt, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of the Italian seasoning.
Place the potatoes in a bowl with 1/2 of the remaining butter and 1 teaspoon of the Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
Pour the potatoes onto the sheet pan all around the chicken. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven.
While the chicken is baking, cut the shallot and peppers into thin strips and add to the same bowl that you used for the potatoes.
Present!
Toss the vegetables together, if desired and serve.
Tips and Techniques
- Lightly oil your sheet pan to prevent the chicken and vegetables from sticking.
- To brown the chicken more after baking, place it under the broiler for a few minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- If you can’t find small sweet peppers, you can use any combination of red, orange, and/or yellow peppers.
