Easy Sheet Pan Recipes

Easy sheet pan chicken recipes are one way to quickly put dinner on the table. These days, many of us are working from home, and our children are in virtual schooling. This is the new way of living, and I am happy many are adjusting well.

Sheet Pan recipes might suit you if you love quick and healthy meals. The recipes are usually easy and contain some protein and vegetables. This style of cooking requires a good sheet pan and fresh ingredients. Frozen vegetables are not recommended.

Sheet pan recipes with chicken are usually mixed with vegetables. The chosen vegetables are cooked for about the same time as the chicken. I used a mixture of colorful peppers and red onion for this recipe. I also used an array of seasonings and spices that added wholesome flavors.

The peppers and onions add flavor and texture. One particular spice I used was turmeric. This is how the chicken and the peppers got their golden color. Turmeric is a healthy spice with tons of nutritional benefits.

You may think this recipe is for fajitas, but it is not. You can substitute the spices for a store-bought fajitas spice blend. Why should you use a fajitas spice blend when you can create your own spice blend? It is simple, and you should try it.

Fajitas spice blends are usually the same, and the taste is the same. You can add whatever spice and seasoning mixture you want with a sheet pan chicken recipe with peppers and onion. It is called Freedom Cooking!

What is the Sheet Pan Chicken, Peppers, and Onion recipe?

First, let’s talk about tools. You will need the following tools:

  • Deep Sheet Pan: a must for sheet pan recipes. The ingredients will cook evenly, and there’s minimal spillage.
  • Aluminum Foil: many of us have old sheet pans and don’t want to buy new ones. Let’s line the pan with aluminum foil. Some of us also avoid spending time cleaning, so why not line the pan with aluminum foil?
  • Spatula: useful for removing food from the pan. The angle and the shape of the spatula make portion servings easy.
  • Kitchen Tongs: good for turning, grabbing, and serving food.
