Easy Sheet Pan Recipes
Easy sheet pan chicken recipes are one way to put dinner on the table quickly. 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 to see that many are adjusting well.
If you love quick and healthy meals, Sheet Pan recipes might be for you. 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 amount of time as the chicken. For this recipe, I used a mixture of colorful peppers and red onion. I also used an array of seasoning and spices that adds tons of wholesome flavors.
The peppers and onions add flavors and texture. One particular spice I used is 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 be thinking that 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. With a sheet pan chicken recipe with peppers and onion, you can add whatever spice and seasoning mixture you want. It is called Freedom Cooking!

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 pan and don’t want to buy new ones. Let’s line the pan with aluminum foil. Some of us also are avoiding 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.
