Why You’ll Love This One-Pan Herb Chicken & Roasted Veggie Bake

This recipe makes it incredibly easy to get a complete, nutritious dinner on the table without a pile of dishes. Everything roasts together, letting the flavors mingle and intensify in the oven. The chicken stays juicy, the veggies get perfectly caramelized, and the seasoning is spot on.

Whether you’re feeding your family or meal prepping for the week, this dish fits right in. It’s flexible enough to swap in seasonal vegetables and reheats like a dream. The blend of rosemary, thyme, garlic, and lemon makes every bite taste like a warm hug.

What Kind of Chicken Should I Use?

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts work beautifully here because they cook evenly with the vegetables and absorb all the herbaceous flavor. However, if you prefer chicken thighs for their richer taste and juiciness, they’re a fantastic substitute.

Make sure the pieces are relatively uniform in size so everything cooks evenly. If you’re using bone-in pieces, you might need to give them a head start in the oven or slice them thinner.

Ingredients for the One-Pan Herb Chicken & Roasted Veggie Bake

Everything you need for this recipe is easy to find and already bursting with flavor. The beauty of this bake lies in its simplicity and the way everyday ingredients transform in the oven.

• Chicken breasts: Lean and protein-packed, they become juicy and flavorful thanks to the herb seasoning.
• Baby potatoes: These roast beautifully, turning crisp on the outside and buttery soft inside.
• Carrots: They add natural sweetness and a pop of color to the pan.
• Green beans: Roasted just right, they become tender with a slight crispness.
• Olive oil: Helps everything roast evenly and adds a rich flavor base.
• Garlic: Minced fresh for bold flavor that infuses the whole dish.
• Fresh rosemary: Earthy and aromatic, it pairs perfectly with roasted chicken.
• Fresh thyme: Brings a subtle lemony note that balances the richness.
• Lemon juice: Adds brightness and a bit of zing to lift the flavors.
• Salt and pepper: Essential for bringing everything together.

How To Make the One-Pan Herb Chicken & Roasted Veggie Bake

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil. This ensures easy cleanup and prevents sticking.

Step 2: Season the Chicken

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts and set aside to let them absorb the flavors.

Step 3: Toss the Veggies

In a large mixing bowl, toss the baby potatoes, sliced carrots, and green beans with a bit more olive oil, salt, and pepper. Make sure everything is evenly coated.

Step 4: Arrange on the Pan

Place the chicken breasts in the center of the sheet pan and scatter the veggies around them. Try to keep everything in a single layer for the best roasting results.

Step 5: Roast to Perfection

Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender and golden. If needed, broil for 2 to 3 minutes at the end for extra caramelization.

Step 6: Rest and Serve

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot with the roasted veggies and spoon any pan juices over the top for extra flavor.

How to Serve and Store Your One-Pan Herb Chicken & Roasted Veggie Bake

This dish is the ultimate in hassle-free cooking and serving. Once it’s out of the oven, it’s ready to be plated straight from the sheet pan. A generous portion of chicken with a medley of roasted vegetables makes a perfect well-balanced dinner. If you’re serving guests, you can even present it family-style right on the pan — it looks as rustic as it is delicious.

The recipe makes enough to comfortably serve 4 people, with each portion containing a good amount of protein and vegetables. If you’re cooking for two, lucky you: the leftovers are just as tasty the next day.

To store, transfer everything to an airtight container once cooled. It will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days. For reheating, a quick 2-minute zap in the microwave works great, or warm it in the oven at 350°F for 10 to 15 minutes to restore that roasted texture.

What to Serve With One-Pan Herb Chicken & Roasted Veggie Bake?

Buttery Garlic Bread

The roasted herbs pair wonderfully with a warm slice of buttery garlic bread. It soaks up the lemony pan juices beautifully.

Simple Side Salad

A crisp green salad with a light vinaigrette keeps the meal feeling fresh and balanced. Think arugula, cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers.

Creamy Mashed Cauliflower

If you’re cutting back on carbs, creamy mashed cauliflower is a low-carb, cozy alternative to potatoes.

Wild Rice Pilaf

A nutty wild rice pilaf adds hearty texture and rounds out the meal with earthy notes.

Warm Dinner Rolls

Soft, fluffy dinner rolls are always welcome on the table, especially with a meal like this.

Herbed Quinoa

Quinoa tossed with parsley, lemon zest, and a touch of olive oil makes a protein-packed and herby addition.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts

If you want to bulk up the veggie portion, roast some Brussels sprouts alongside or in a separate pan.

Apple Slaw

A fresh apple slaw with a light tangy dressing adds crunch and a sweet contrast to the savory chicken.
