Easy Sheetpan Chicken Dinner
The whole meal in one sheetpan - quick and easy
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts filets
- 1 1/2 cups mayonaise
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese plus a little to sprinkle on the ingredients just before they go into the oven
- 1 1/2 tbsp dried basil or 3 tbsp chopped fresh
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp lemon juice or cider vinager
- 1 cup thick carrot slices
- 1/2 large onion cut into thick slices
- 8-12 asparagus spears - depending on thickness trimmed and cut in half
- 1 medium size sweet or white potato cut into about 3/4 inch cubes
Instructions
- Set the oven at 350°F. Line your sheet pan (or pans) with aluminum foil and spray or wipe with olive oil.
- If you have large chicken breasts that will work for 2 portions then I'd suggest slicing them horizontally like this. Trim off the excess fat. Then, if you want them even thinner put them in a large ziplock bag and hammer them with a pot or a rolling pin to get an even thickness.
- In a large bowl mix up the the mayo, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, lemon juice and basil. And anything else that YOU want to put into the mix.
- Cut up the veggies. I had some scallions in the fridge so I added them to the mix. You can use just about any that have on hand just go with your gut. Leaf vegetables like spinach cook and wilt too fast. For this one sheetpan dinner I suggest sticking to the firm stuff.
- Dip the chicken filets in the mayo mix and lay them out on the sheetpan. Spread the vegetables around and shake a little grated parmesan on everything.
- Give it about ten to fifteen minutes depending on the thickness of the chicken. A s they cook they will drain a little of the mayo mixture off and leek a little bit of their juices out . When the mayo coating is dried up and the chicken is firm to a poke or I suggest a meat thermometer. When the middle of the thickest part of the filets reads 165° they are ready. Now serve up your Easy Sheetpan Chicken Dinner!It turned out to be really tasty. We didn't know quite what to expect but we liked it a lot. We added it to our busy weeknight chicken choices.
