I love the ease of a meal cooked all on one sheet pan in the oven. The sheet pan meal I have for you today is chicken and broccoli.
Sheet pan meals make clean up easy. There is only one pan to wash. It’s even easier to wash if you line the pan with foil or parchment too.
Vegetables always taste amazing after roasting in the oven. It brings out their natural sweetness. Pair it with a protein and you have a complete meal. Chicken and broccoli is a classic combination. So of course that pair would make a great sheet pan meal.
