Who doesn’t love easy one pan dinners?  While this pesto chicken is my new favorite, I also love Sheet Pan Fajitas, Chicken with 40 Cloves Garlic, Stroganoff, and Panang Curry.

I’m so exited to share this super flavorful and easy sheet pan recipe with you. This is a great meal-prep recipe is you’re looking for something healthy to make for lunches during the week.

What I love about this recipe:

1. Ready in less than 30 minutes.
2. Easy to adapt: So many vegetables would work great with this recipe, so it’s perfect for using up produce you already have in your fridge.
3. Healthy and Filling. It makes a great all-in-one meal, or you can serve it with pasta or crusty artisan bread.
