I was a little late to the sheet pan dinner party and boy have I realized 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 – like this Italian Chicken with Peppers and Potatoes recipe or this Sheet Pan Salmon Fajitas recipe – 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.

Why This Recipe Works

This is a very easy, family-friendly recipe that doesn’t require a ton of ingredients. Simply season the chicken with a little Italian seasoning then cook it on the same baking sheet as the potatoes and peppers. When cooking the chicken and veggies on the same pan, the flavors will all meld together.

So, while this sheet pan dinner recipe is easy enough for the busiest of weeknights, I’d go as far as to say it’s impressive enough for serving guests as well.

How to Make Sheet Pan Italian Chicken

Ingredients

Ingredients for sheet pan italian chicken on a white background with labels

  • Use any bell peppers that you like or the mini sweet peppers as shown in the photo.
  • You can swap out the shallot for an onion, if preferred.

The entire recipe and instructions can also be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post. You can also print the recipe from the card, if needed.

Prep!

Preheat your oven to 375°F.

Cut the potatoes into wedges. You’ll prep the shallot and peppers a bit later.

Create!

Chicken browned in a cast iron skillet

Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of the Italian seasoning.

Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet. Add the chicken and brown only on one side for about 2 minutes, or until golden. 

Transfer to a sheet pan with the browned side up.

Chef’s Tip: you can skip this step and place the chicken directly on the sheet pan. The only difference is that it will not brown up as nicely.

Place the potatoes in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon of the Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.

Browned chicken and potatoes on a sheet pan

Pour the potatoes onto the sheet pan all around the chicken. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven.

Seasoned peppers and shallots in a glass bowl over a white background

While the chicken is baking, cut the shallot and peppers into strips and add to the same bowl that you used for the potatoes along with the minced garlic.

Pour the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the peppers. Season with salt, pepper, and the last 1/2 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Toss to coat well.

Tips and Techniques

  • Lightly oil your sheet pan to prevent the chicken and vegetables from sticking.
  • You do not need to brown the chicken in a skillet first, however, the chicken will not brown as nicely if you only cook it on the sheet pan.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Use within 3-4 days.

FAQ’s

What Can I Use Instead Of A Sheet Pan?

You can use any larger baking dish, broiler pan, baking pan, or oven-proof skillet in place of a sheet pan for sheet pan-style meals.

Can You Freeze Leftovers?

If you prefer to freeze leftovers, you can add them to a freezer bag or air-tight container. Use frozen leftovers within 2-4 months for best results. Please note that there will likely be textural changes when reheated.

    I made this tonight and used skinless thighs and added brussels sprouts and mushrooms. It was really tasty. I think the flexibility of these one pan dishes makes them amazing.

    When transferring the chicken to the sheet pan, cooked side up or down? I’m sure this must be obvious to everyone else but me. Sorry. Thanks

      Hi Carol. I brown both sides when I make this, but always put the “prettier” side up (usually the side of the chicken that is shown in the package when you buy it), but honestly it doesn’t really matter except for presentation purposed 🙂

        Your recipe says to cook the chicken “only on one side.”

          Yes, you’re only browning the one side for appearance more than anything. In the notes section of the recipe card, it also says this step is optional. The wording could have been better so I will update that.

    Love one pan cooking!! Putting everything together to cook makes it easier to make and certainly easier to clean up. One of our favorites is making chicken with potatoes. I love the flavors and spices — will be printing out the recipe.
