We all love an easy dinner and we all want healthy dinners that taste great. Right!?

I’ve got you covered with this one pan recipe, Healthy BBQ Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner. It has tender chicken thighs roasted together with sweet potatoes, onions, brussel sprouts, and carrots.

After the veggies and chicken are roasted in the oven you drizzle everything with a homemade BBQ Vinaigrette that is out of this world.

What is a Sheet Pan Dinner?

If you are not familiar with the One Pan – Sheet Pan Dinner trend you need to jump on board asap!

A sheet pan dinner is a complete meal, all cooked together in the oven, on one sheet pan. It will usually include your protein, starch, and vegetable. Which makes your dinner time super easy.

Ingredients

BBQ Chicken & Vegetable Sheet Pan Dinner

  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs, each thigh cut into 8 pieces - (about 3 chicken thighs)
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks
  • 3 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks
  • 1 large yellow or red onion, cut into about 16 pieces
  • 20 fresh brussel sprouts, stem end trimmed and cut in half lengthwise

BBQ Vinaigrette

  • ¼ cup BBQ Sauce
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar, fimly packed
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • pinch salt & black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
    Process the veggies and the chicken.
    Place the raw chicken and veggies on a large sheet pan. If you do not have a large sheet pan, or if the pan is too full, use 2 sheet pans. If your pan is too crowded your vegetables will steam instead of roasting.
  • Drizzle the chicken and vegetables with olive oil. With clean hands toss the chicken and veggies to coat with the olive oil.
    Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Place the sheet pan dinner in the oven and set the timer for 20 minutes.
  • Then, toss the veggies and then place back in the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Drizzle the BBQ Vinaigrette over the chicken and vegetables and serve warm.

BBQ Vinaigrette

  • While the sheet pan dinner is cooking make the BBQ Vinaigrette.
    Add all the ingredients to a mason jar. Pop the lid on and shake it vigorously until all the ingredients are combined. 
    If you do not have a mason jar you can whisk everything together in a bowl.

Recipe Tips and Notes:

To make ahead:
Process all the vegetables and cut the chicken. Keep the chicken and veggies separate, in air tight containers, in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Make the BBQ Vinaigrette and keep in the mason jar, in the fridge, for up to 2 days.
When you are ready to have this sheet pan dinner, simply follow the cooking instructions.
