Italian Chicken Sheet Pan Supper is one of those meals that makes life easier without sacrificing flavor. With just one pan, you get a full dinner that is colorful, balanced, and satisfying. It is the kind of recipe that feels comforting and fresh at the same time, making it perfect for busy nights or when you just want something warm and hearty without a big mess in the kitchen.
The beauty of this dish is its simplicity. Start with seasoned chicken, coated in olive oil, garlic, and classic Italian herbs like oregano, thyme, and basil. Then surround the chicken with a mix of vegetables such as bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and red onions. Everything goes onto a sheet pan and into the oven, where the flavors come together as it roasts.
While it cooks, the vegetables soften and caramelize slightly, soaking up the juices from the chicken and herbs. The chicken turns golden on the outside and stays juicy on the inside. The tomatoes burst and create a light, flavorful sauce that coats everything on the tray. It is the kind of meal that looks as good as it tastes, full of color and bold aroma.
This sheet pan supper is easy to adapt. You can add baby potatoes, broccoli, or even mushrooms. If you like a little heat, sprinkle in some crushed red pepper flakes. Add a squeeze of lemon or a sprinkle of Parmesan before serving to brighten up the dish. You can serve it on its own, over rice, or with a slice of bread to soak up all the delicious juices.
Cleanup is minimal, and the whole meal comes together quickly. It is also great for leftovers, making it a smart choice for meal prep.
Italian Chicken Sheet Pan Supper proves that weeknight cooking can be both simple and full of flavor, using wholesome ingredients and just one pan.

This was so good! The chicken was really moist and the veggies were perfect. Definitely making it again!
I don’t have cherry tomatoes, can I use regular tomatoes instead? Also, what can I use if I don’t have zucchini?
Just okay. My family didn’t love it. I think they wanted more flavor or something. 😒
Tasted good, but why do you put salt and pepper? Isn’t that normal? 😂
I tried this and the chicken came out all mushy. Not sure what went wrong… Should I not use boneless chicken?
Tried this recipe but forgot olive oil! Oops! Still tasted good tho, haha.
I guess you can say the recipe is pretty forgiving! But how did it not dry out without the oil? 🤔
No olive oil? Wow, that’s brave! Glad it still turned out good! 😄
I didn’t have zucchini so I used carrots instead, turned out fine!
Carrots work too! Glad it turned out good for you.
This was AMAZING! So easy to make and the flavors were on point! Will definitely make again.
Seems too easy to be good. I guess I’ll try, but I’m skeptical about the chicken getting cooked through.
Looks too simple if you ask me. Hope it works out for you, but don’t blame the recipe if the chicken is raw!
I was skeptical too, but it turned out amazing! Just make sure the chicken is at least 165°F and you’ll be good!
Absolutely loved this recipe! The flavors were amazing and it was super easy to make. Will definitely make it again!
I’m glad you loved it! This dish is amazing for busy weeknights. 😍
Yum! I added some mushrooms and they were great too. Love one-pan meals.
Mushrooms? I dunno, makes it too muddy. But this is still a handy recipe!
I agree! One-pan meals are the best for quick dinners. Good add with the mushrooms!
Yummy! Even my kids liked it. I added some cheese on top before baking. So good!!!
I dunno… the chicken came out kinda dry for me. I followed the recipe exactly. Maybe lower the time?
Super easy to make! But my kids are picky eaters. They only wanted the chicken and ignored the veggies.
Try mixing the veggies with the chicken next time! Maybe they’ll eat them that way.
Hell yeah! So simple and tasty. I was in and out of the kitchen in no time!
It was alright, but I think the chicken was a bit dry. Maybe I cooked it too long?
I followed the recipe but my chicken came out dry. What’s the secret to keeping it juicy?
It’s ok.
Just OK? I think it’s amazing! So easy and delicious.
This is so not Italian lol. Where’s the pasta???
Easy peasy, lemon squeezy! I’ll be making this for sure again! 🍅🍗
Yum! This looks fantastic. I love how easy it is to just throw everything on a sheet pan! Can’t wait to try it! 😊
Looks good but is it really that easy? I’ve stumbled before with chicken, lol! 🤔
Yay! We loved it! Best sheet pan recipe! Just had to add extra cheese, tho!
So glad you enjoyed it! Extra cheese is always a win! Yum! 😋
This dish was not authentic Italian at all! You need more spices and real Parmesan cheese to call it Italian! 😒
But Italian is all about the flavors! You need to add more than just some sprinkle of seasoning. Real chefs would never subsitute like that! 😠
I disagree! This recipe is delicious as it is. Sometimes simple is better. 😍
