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!

Can’t wait to try it! Can you use almond milk?
Hi Jennie, definitely you can, although im not sure if it will do the same job as cow milk. You can always leave it out too!
Can this be done with thin sliced whole chicken breasts vs chopping up the breasts ?

I’ve made this several times with whatever veggies we have on hand and I never use the bread crumbs. My family loves this , even my picky eater.
Hi Mandy, so glad you and the family love the recipe! Thanks for the kind feedback too!
I’d like to try this tonight, do the zucchini’s need to be dried?
Can I marinate the chicken in the milk for longer?
I did, I it, and the chicken was delicious.
Absolutely delicious. Didn’t need to change a thing, though I did add mushrooms. Will definitely make this again. This recipe is a keeper !

Hi Jessica, glad this dish was a winner for you!
love this recipe and use green beans instead of zucchini and added potatoes once and Vidalia onion instead of red once. All were great!
Thanks for sharing your feedback and the kind rating!
Can this be frozen after made as a way to store extras? Or does it not thaw out well?
Delicious & super quick to make 😋
