Sheet Pan Chicken Meal Tips

How many cups of veggies for a sheet pan meal?

Trying to make sure everyone gets enough for with a sheet pan meal can be challenging if you do not use a larger-sized pan. For this recipe, I used 4 cups of assorted veggies which included mini rainbow peppers, baby potatoes, and green beans. If you are cooking for a larger crowd, you could always use two sheet pans side by side in the oven.

What size/kind of sheet pan for sheet pan dinner?

From experience (because I have messed up a meal and accidentally steamed it with a jelly pan) a half-sheet pan is the right kind of pan to use. You will want to choose one that is made of thicker metal (not flimsy) that is 18 x 13″ with a 1 inch rim as shown. If your baking sheet warps when it hit high heat it is time for a new one!

Can you line a sheet pan dinner?

If you like easy cleanup, the best way to line a sheet pan is with non-stick, heavy duty foil. Additionally, you can use parchment paper, but sometimes that tends to get super moist and still manage to spill over the edges. For this recipe, I used my “older, more seasoned” baking sheet, but if I used a new one, I would have surely covered that.

How long to cook sheet pan chicken?

Of course, this would vary by type of chicken used, but standard chicken breasts take about 30-35 minutes on 350. Their internal temperature should be 165-degree Fahrenheit.

Best oil for sheet pan chicken & veggies?

This might be subjective, but from experience, I find a quality extra virgin olive oil works really well. It allows for a nice crisp coat on the potatoes/root veggies without changing the taste of the meal.

What is the best mustard for honey mustard chicken?

For the past 9 years, (since we discovered it) Colman’s Mustard of Norwich is our favorite mustard brand. We love their powdered mustard and their prepared variety. I find it has a fresh, bold taste that is very versatile in recipes. You can use it as a condiment, or mix it with brown sugar/honey to make a honey mustard marinade. It is sold nationwide at stores like Stop & Shop and can be purchased online.
