Ingredients to make this sheet pan chicken
This recipe is so simple – just bake the chicken, adding the vegetables in stages until everything is crispy and tender!
For the chicken
- Chicken thighs: I use bone-in and skin on, just like my Easy Baked Chicken Thighs. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs take less time to roast so keep that in mind if you swap it.
- Olive oil: you can also use any neutral oil of your choice such as avocado oil.
- Seasoning: I use Italian seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, and pepper to season my chicken thighs. Feel free to change things around. You can also use some Parmesan cheese and squeeze some lemon juice on top for more flavor.
For the veggies
- White potatoes: be sure to peel them before dicing them.
- Green beans: you have to trim them as the ends of the beans are tough.
- Sweet potato: again, be sure to peel them and then dice them.
- Olive oil: you can also use any neutral oil of your choice such as avocado oil.
- Seasoning: I use dried oregano, salt, and pepper to season the veggies. Again, you are welcomed to change things up.
- Fresh parsley: for garnish
How to Make this Sheet pan Chicken and veggies
Start the chicken
First, lightly pat the chicken thighs with a paper towel. Then toss with the olive oil and spices before placing on a lined baking sheet.
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Prep the vegetables
Finish baking
After the chicken has baked for 20 minutes, remove from the oven and spread the potatoes in a single layer on the pan. Bake for another 15 minutes.
Then, remove the pan from the oven again and stir the potatoes. Coat the green beans with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper and add to the baking sheet.
Bake another 10 minutes, checking to make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through. Add some fresh parsley before serving if you’d like.
How To Store Leftovers
- To Store: Make sure to store all your portions in an airtight container. I use glass containers has they don’t hold onto any smells and are easier to clean. Please keep it in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
- To Freeze: I don’t recommend freezing this Sheet Pan Chicken as the potatoes won’t hold their texture as they thaw. If you’d like, you can freeze the cooked chicken on their own, without the vegetables.
- To reheat: Microwave your meal prep with a damp paper towel over top of the container to keep the chicken meal prep bowls moist.
Serving Suggestions
The sheet pan chicken and veggies is a complete meal on its own, so you really don’t need to serve anything additional with it. If you want to add some extra sides, you could serve this Sheet Pan Chicken with some cooked cauliflower rice, lentils, or quinoa.

Frequently asked questions
Absolutely! You’ll need to adjust the baking time, though, to make sure the chicken doesn’t dry out.
Whether you use boneless, skinless thighs or breasts, the chicken will need to bake for about 25 minutes.
Skip the step where you bake the chicken by itself first. Instead, start by spreading the seasoned potatoes on the baking sheet and nestle the chicken among the pieces.
Then, continue the recipe as written. Check to make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through before serving – it should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. At this temperature, you will have juicy chicken breasts and they will be safe to eat.
I like to bake this sheet pan chicken at 425˚F. This ensures that the chicken is cooked through while still being moist. If the temperature is lower, it’ll take longer to cook and you risk the chicken drying out.
Sure! Because it’s such a simple recipe, it’s easy to customize it to your personal taste. Here are some ideas to get you started:
Potatoes: Substitute the white potatoes with red ones for a more buttery flavor, and leave the skin on. You can also use carrots.Squash: Replace the green beans with zucchini or crookneck squash, or do a mix of both, like I do here in my Low-Carb Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies.
Bell pepper: Any color will work in this recipe.
Onion: Mix in chopped red or sweet onion with the potatoes for a caramelized flavor.

Tips
- Watch the Web Stories HERE.
- Make sure you set the correct temperature for the oven. If the temperature is lower, the chicken takes longer to cook and will dry out.
- If you prefer to use a different cut of chicken, you are more than welcome to. Simply adjust the cooking time.
- Make sure the potatoes are cut uniformly so they cook evenly.
- To store: Transfer the food to an airtight container into the fridge for up to 4 days.
- To reheat: Reheat leftovers in the microwave.
- To freeze: I would only freeze the chicken for the best result. You can freeze cooked chicken in a freezer-safe bag or container.

Alonya van rooyen says
Can I use a mixture of bone in chicken breasts and bone in chicken thighs …. how would my cooking time need to be adjusted?
Olivia says
Yes you can. Chicken breast cooks faster than chicken thighs. So, add the chicken thighs first and roast for 25 minutes. Then add chicken breast and roast for more 20 minutes. But check the internal temperature before you serve. The internal temperature should be 165F.
Monica C. says
Both my husband and daughter do not like sweet potatoes. What other veggies could I substitute for the sweet potatoes? Would I need to adjust the cook time?
Olivia says
You can replace it for butternut squash or accord squash and for this type of squash you don’t need to adjust the cook time.
Annette says
Would the time still be the same for boneless chicken thighs?
Olivia says
Reduce the time to 5 to 10 mins.
