Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

  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.

  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.

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.
