One pan chicken and veggies is the perfect low fuss 30 minute easy weeknight dinner meal. Made with chicken thighs mixed with asparagus, red pepper, red onion, and broccoli. GF, DF & Paleo.broiled chicken thighs and red peppers, broccoli, and asparagus on a baking tray One pan chicken with veggies needs to be on your dinner table tonight. And/or tomorrow night. And every night this week.

This is an incredibly easy and super flavorful weeknight dinner. I’ve been making one pan chicken with veggies in one way or another for years. It’s just that usually it was my classic 4 ingredient artichoke and garlic broiled chicken thighs. And then it dawned on me that I need to start including some other veggies into the mix. I mean garlic + artichokes work well with chicken too, but there’s a whole world of veggies out there, just waiting for their chance in the oven to mingle with the chicken.

In this recipe you can take all sorts of liberties. It is honestly up to you what veggies you add.

I used thickly sliced red onion, asparagus, red peppers and broccoli. By the way oven roasted broccoli IS the best thing ever. If you haven’t tried my broccoli steak with cilantro jalapeno pistachio pesto, that needs to be on your to make list asap.

Something magical happens to broccoli in the oven. It just undergoes a crisping that makes it heartily roasted and almost nutty and crunchy in flavor. Kale chips move over — we need to get the trend started on broccoli chips.

What I love most about this one pan chicken and veggies recipe is that it requires minimal (I repeat, MINIMAL) prep.

You basically grab a large bowl, chop up some veggies, toss in the chicken thighs and your spices of choice. I’m always a huge fan of smoked paprika, oregano, salt & pepper.

Freshly cracked black pepper has quickly become my favorite way to season everything. I love the flavor created by those large coarse pepper flakes. The smoked paprika gives the dish a bit of a smoky taste, while oregano always works will with chicken and veggies.

This is one of those weeknight friendly family perfect meals. Low carb, high protein, no processed ingredients – just veggies and chicken baked and broiled to crispy perfection.

Feel free to serve this dish with a side dish of rice, riced cauliflower, quinoa, or just on it’s own for a super healthy and easy meal.

On those nights when you come home and want dinner on the table in no time with minimal fuss, you need this one pan chicken and veggies.

Let me know if you have other one pan chicken and veggies recipes in your weekly rotation! Sheet pan dinners can exploded all over the internet in the last year – and for good reason – not need to spend hours in the kitchen getting a healthy dinner ready for your family, when you can toss all the ingredients into one bowl, place is one a baking sheet and toss it into the oven.

Dinner doesn’t get much simpler (or healthier) than that!

    We love one pan meals. We love to cook, the clean-up…not so much! This looks so delicious. I like how we can change up the vegetables.

    This looks delicious. We don’t eat enough broccoli but I think this dish could change that. It looks full of flavor and perfect dinner for midweek. Yum.

    would regular chicken thighs (with bones and skin) be an okay switch? I’d imagine just cook a little longer. Thanks!

      Yes I’m sure bone in skin on would work too and just keep checking on them to make sure they are cooked through!
