What is a Sheet Pan Dinner?

A sheet pan dinner is a meal that you bake on a single pan in the oven. The pan contains protein and vegetables. It all cooks together at the same time. The result is a delicious dinner any hardly any dirty dishes. Plus, most of the cooking is hands-off since it’s in the oven.

As a mom, sheet pan meals are a necessity sometimes. Especially when trying to parent and finish up evening chores. They are easy to prepare and even easier to clean up.

I use the large Stoneware Bar Pan from Pampered Chef for all of my sheet pan dinners. I like to line the pan with aluminum foil, or parchment paper, to keep clean-up simple. This pan is such a high quality, I’ve had mine for 12 years and it is still going strong! You could absolutely skip lining the pan, but there’s nothing I hate more than cleaning the kitchen and washing dishes.

What You Need for this Chicken Sheet Pan Meal

  • Chicken
  • Eggplant
  • Zucchini
  • Tomatoes
  • Red onion
  • Garlic
  • Lemon juice
  • Red wine vinegar
  • Paprika
  • Oregano
  • Crushed red pepper flakes
  • Cumin

How to Make This Greek Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner

Coat the pan with a little olive oil then place the chicken, eggplant, tomatoes, zucchini, and red onion on the bed of oil. If you aren’t a fan of certain veggies (or don’t have them on hand), then it’s easy to sub in others. I’ve used carrots, broccoli, and red bell pepper as substitutes. I also add a little oil on top once everything is on the pan.

Then add the garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and spices to the dish. I believe that you can make a delicious dish with only a few key spices. For this Mediterranean-style dinner, use paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, red pepper, and a little bit of cumin. After the dish is seasoned, just pop it in the oven at 375 for 30-35 minutes.

Tip: Use a Meat Thermometer

Use a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken is done. A meat thermometer takes all the guesswork out of cooking meat. Having a thermometer has made me more confident in the kitchen because I know that I’m serving my family fully-cooked meat. The thermometer we have has the government food safety temps printed on it for easy reference.

Try Hummus With It!

This dinner is complete on its own. But if you like having a third component for dinner serve it with another side. This could be a salad, rice, etc.

For this particular dish, I like to whip up some hummus to go with it. Sometimes I use store-bought hummus, but it’s SO easy to make my own. Here is my recipe for homemade hummus.

This chicken sheet pan dinner is so simple and delicious! It’s perfect for a busy family, people that hate to cook, or meal prep for the week.
