Sheet Pan Ranch Chicken is the easiest dinner but oh man it is delish!

Fresh herbs, roasted broccoli, tomatoes, carrots along with tender, juicy ranch chicken is out of this world. It will make you “hmmm” while you eat!

This dish is so flavorful. Creamy, tangy and fresh! Best part is take a few minutes to prep, a few ingredients and your Sheet Pan Ranch Chicken dinner is done!

It is truly amazing what a ranch packet, mayo, parmesan cheese, and some everyday spices will do to a dish. A mouth watering explosion!

Easy weeknight chicken dinners are a must in our house. As much as I love to cook, I also need quick delicious meals for the gang.

These veggies were fantastic! Tender, flavorful and those tomatoes were bursting with deliciousness! Everyone inhaled this dinner.

Sheet pan dinners are so quick and easy. One pan of mess = one pan to clean! Easy quick chicken dinners means less time in the kitchen!

You could even make a double batch for easy leftovers and dinner is done for 2 nights. I promise your gang won’t mind this dinner 2 nights in a row. Also makes for perfect lunches to take to the office.

Make it even easier and get pre-sliced veggies or baby carrots and your prep time is down to almost nothing.

You can also use Chicken Breast, Chicken Thighs, or Chicken Tenders will this meal. Whatever your gang fancys!

Alright, enough of how easy and fantastic this meal is, let’s get started on the Sheet Pan Ranch Chicken!

Step by step instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice and chop your broccoli and carrots. Place on the baking sheet. Add Tomatoes and chicken to your pan.

• Use a spray oil (I prefer Olive Oil or Avocado Oil) and spray your veggies around the pan.

• Next you will sprinkle some ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper over your veggies. Then in a small bowl, mix together the rest of the ranch packet with your mayo.

• It will create almost a “paste” like mixture. It will be thick. Coat your chicken breast, chicken thighs, or chicken tenders with the ranch/mayo mixture. I reserved a few tablespoon of the mixture to dollop on top of the veggies.

• Sprinkle the top with Parmesan cheese and place in the oven for 25-28 minutes.

• Once the chicken has finished cooking, I place the oven on Broil and crisp up the coating on the chicken. Make sure you watch to get to the crispness you desire, around 2 minutes. We like our nice and crispy! Sprinkle with fresh dill and your meal is complete. Now go and enjoy that beautiful Sheet Pan Ranch Chicken.

Tips for success

• Your ranch packet needs to be 1.5 ounces. This allows for a little extra to sprinkle on your veggies. Trust me you won’t want to miss that step. It makes them so delish!
• We tend to like thinner chicken breasts and thighs in our house. If you are using thicker pieces of meat, use your meat thermometer and make sure the internal temperature is 165 degrees.
• When you reserve a little of the ranch/mayo mixture you add a little more flavor to your vegetables. Once it heats in the oven the oils in the mayo help spread the “topping” around to the other veggies. Don’t worry they all get a little ranch love! Haha
• I love to make a double batch, this chicken makes for the best leftovers!

What to serve with leftover chicken

I don’t know about you but when I am cooking, I find it easy to make a double batch of whatever type of chicken I am cooking. My gang likes a home cooked meal every night but our schedules sometimes don’t allow for that.

Double batch cooking makes this possible. A healthy meal in a quick turn around time. I think the key to left over chicken is how you reheat it! Always on the stove top and not in the microwave (if you can).

I am weird about textures with meat and I feel the stovetop returns the chicken to a tender, juicy consistency instead of rubbery. Here are some ways that we love to eat leftover chicken. Especially this Sheet Pan Ranch Chicken

• Any type salads. For example Cesar salad. Club Style Salad with bacon, egg, tomatoes, avocado and thinly sliced chicken is just so good. Or even an Italian Salad with olives, chunks of feta, thinly sliced red onions, sweet hot peppers, and then thinly slice the Sheet Pan Ranch Chicken and your dinner is done!
• Taco Tuesday? No problem. Slice that chicken and serve wrapped in a burrito with lettuce, sour cream, avocado or guacamole and salsa. Or chopped into small pieces and serve with tacos and your favorite toppings. Both ways are so good.
• How about a Rice bowl? Add steamed green beans, roasted broccoli or asparagus, roasted red peppers, spring onions and some fresh herbs and your meal is complete.
• Need a low carb meal? Add Italian cauliflower rice, shredded pan seared zucchini, along with sautéed spinach, and some fresh herbs and your keto, low carb meal is complete.

This is just a few easy ways to turn 1 meal into several easy weeknight dishes.

How to reheat and store leftovers
