Cheesy Chicken Veggie Sheet Pan Dinner
I can’t stop thinking about how juicy and tender the chicken comes out with that simple 20 minute milk marinate. Its so easy to add in to your prep because you start with the chicken, and while that’s marinating, you chop up your veggies and getting everything else ready.
We used chicken breasts, but you can also use boneless skinless thighs here too. Also customizable are the vegetables; eggplant, mushrooms, tomatoes, etc. can be subbed it. This is definitely a clean out your fridge type of meal.
Once you get the ingredients tossed all together and spread out on your baking sheet, make certain they don’t look dry to you, especially the vegetables! The beauty of this dish is that the breadcrumbs and pecorino coat the chicken and give it a nice texture. You can leave out the last step of mozzarella cheese if you’re not into that and this dish will still rock your socks off!

This was an excellent meal! Tasted great
Can you marinate the chicken longer than 30 minutes
I made this food and just like what you said “I loved my Life…”.
Is there a way to make this recipe GF? Looks amazing!!
Yes! Sub in almond flour for the breadcrumbs – it’s stella btw! Enjoy!
I made it tonight with GF breadcrumbs and it was yummy !!
You could use chiccaronne crumbs for the bread crumbs – 0 carbs!
Cooked this tonight , made it with chicken thighs and added some pumpkin to the veg as well . We really loved the dish ,moist flavoursome and lots of variety . Will definitely cook it again .
How many pounds of chicken did you use?
It was about 1.5 to 1.75 pounds chicken breasts.
Can you use almond milk or other nut milk for this? Also are the breadcrumbs necessary? Gluten free Pablo??
Yes, I’ve used gluten free panel and they work great. They add a very satisfying crunch.
That should have been gluten free panko. Stupid auto correct.
As I had originally answered to you, yes gluten free panko works great and adds a very satisfying crunch.
This is now one of my picky crew’s favorite! Made it twice now. Love! This is going in the book of main go to recipes. I wouldn’t change a thing about it.
Hello, I will be trying this dish tonight. Looks delicious. Just wondering if anyone added any side dish and what it might be.
I serve this with polenta, it’s an amazing combination! I’ve also added more veggies (carrots, mushrooms, etc.) to stretch the recipe for my hungry family. 🙂
Easy and delish!
Hi Laura! Exactly! Thanks for trying the recipe out!!
Really yummy and easy 🥰
HI Teodora! Glad you enjoyed the dish!! Thanks for taking the time to rate it too!
Turned out just like the video! I also have never tried marinating chicken in milk, but I can tel a difference.
Hi Taylor, It DOES make a difference! Thanks for trying it out!!
This was so easy and delicious. I never knew milk could make chicken breasts so tender and juicy. I used to hate them cause they were always so dry. I’ve passed this recipe on to two more friends and they loved it too.
Thank you
How can this be keto with 24 grams of carbs?
The recipe says 22 g carbs and 3 g fiber per serving… you subtract the fiber from the total carbs to get net carbs, so actually 19 g carbs for your entire meal (meat and veggies combined).
This look so good! Do you drain the milk from the chicken before adding the seasonings?
Hi Jojo! Yes definitely drain that milk! And thank you!
Good question…I was wondering about that also👍
Amazing. Everyone in the marron house loved this
I’m so glad the whole family enjoyed this dinner! Thank you for taking the time to rate it too!
