Sides AND main on just one pan? Sign us up!

Nothing’s better than a chicken dinner, whether it’s a weeknight or a special occasion, and nothing’s worse than a sink full of dirty dishes — any night. One Dutch oven is good, but one sheet pan to cook everything from the chicken to the sides? Now that’s a winner winner (you know the rest). We’ve got 27 sheet-pan chicken dinners here to get you started—once you’ve got the technique down, use them as inspiration to make your nights easier again and again.
When it comes to white meat, there are a few flavor combos that always work, and one of our favorites has got to be chicken and lemon. Our sheet-pan lemon butter chicken thighs capitalize on this excellent flavor combo—we add potatoes too, but it’s easy to customize with your favorite veggies for an easy, straightforward meal everyone will love.
Looking for something a little more out there to shake up your weeknight routine or to impress dinner party guests? It’s easy to jazz up that classic with a few additional ingredients, like we did in our lemony chicken & potatoes with feta (and a to-die-for olive, almond, and parsley sauce), our garlicky Greek chicken, or our sheet-pan harissa chicken & sweet potatoes. This simple flavor boost works with a full roast chicken too, and our Perfect Bite roast chicken dinner (great for fans of the show You) or our Peruvian roast chicken with aji verde are proof.
It’s not all about straightforward dinners here either. We’ve also got a couple of sheet-pan chicken apps or snacks here too, like our popcorn chicken, our sheet-pan green chile chicken nachos, or our sheet-pan honey mustard chicken. Eat 'em as an afternoon snack, or serve up the whole tray with a variety of toppings and dipping sauces and call it your evening meal—no judgment from us!
