These Sheet Pan Chicken Dinners Will Save Your Weeknights
No mess, no stress.
For a busy home cook, the words "quick," "easy" and "minimal cleanup" are probably the sexiest things you can hear. Cooking everything in one pan is as convenient as it gets — and one of our favorite tools for doing so is the sheet pan. On a sheet pan, sides and mains can cook together, flavors can marry (or easily stay far enough away from each other) and everything comes out with a nice, roasty texture. And what better to be the centerpiece of such a meal than another kitchen crowd-pleaser? Chicken. Try these ideas for dinner this week.
