My favorite thing about this easy baked Pesto Chicken and Vegetables is that it's all made in one pan! It's a healthy 30-minute meal that's perfect for quick weeknight dinners.
Who doesn't love easy one pan dinners? While this pesto chicken is my new favorite, I also love Sheet Pan Fajitas, Chicken with 40 Cloves Garlic, Stroganoff, and Panang Curry.
I'm so exited to share this super flavorful and easy sheet pan recipe with you. This is a great meal-prep recipe is you're looking for something healthy to make for lunches during the week.
What I love about this recipe:
- Ready in less than 30 minutes.
- Easy to adapt: So many vegetables would work great with this recipe, so it's perfect for using up produce you already have in your fridge.
- Healthy and Filling. It makes a great all-in-one meal, or you can serve it with pasta or crusty artisan bread.

This was excellent! It’s easy and delicious with simple ingredients that go so well together and are easily accessible at the grocery store. I’ve made this twice for our family so far (and they really enjoyed it!). I’m also making it for a family party this week to serve with pasta, and I’m going to keep it in the rotation for meals to make for our meals ministry at church. Thank you!
My son loves pesto, so we always have a jar of it. And this recipe was so easy. I liked to buy whole chickens, when it is economical, and make soup with all of it except the breast. So I had a bag of raw chicken breast plus all the odds and ends of vegetables that weren’t enough for a full side dish on their own. So this was perfect!
My husband and I loved it, easy, tasty ad a keeper. Thanks.
