Easy single serving sheet pan chicken recipe is what dinner dreams are made of! One chicken breast (or thigh) cooks alongside your favorite vegetables all on one sheet pan for minimal cleanup. It's just the right amount to serve one person.
Position the chicken on one half of the baking sheet, while arranging the potatoes and tomatoes on the other half.
Drizzle olive oil over both the chicken and vegetables, followed by seasoning with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Using your hands, toss the vegetables to ensure they are thoroughly coated with the oil and spices.
Rub the oil and spices over the chicken, ensuring it's coated on both sides.
Finally, place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through.
Notes
Expert Tips
Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit before you start cooking. This will ensure that the chicken and vegetables cook evenly.
Size matters: Try to cut your sweet potato into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
Don’t overcrowd: Spread your ingredients out in a single layer on the sheet pan. Overcrowding can cause the ingredients to steam rather than roast, impacting the flavor.
Let the chicken rest: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken.
