How to Make Sheet Pan Garlic Butter Chicken
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Season chicken with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Place it on the sheet pan.
In a bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, Italian seasoning, and lemon juice. Brush or pour this garlic butter over the chicken.
Toss vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them around the chicken on the pan.
Bake for 25–30 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and vegetables are tender.
For extra crispiness, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
How to Serve
Serve hot with extra garlic butter drizzled on top. Pair with rice, quinoa, or enjoy it as a complete low-carb meal.
Tips for Best Results
Cut vegetables evenly so they cook at the same rate. Don’t overcrowd the pan—use two pans if needed. Use chicken thighs for extra juiciness. Add lemon at the end for fresh flavor.
Variations
Add potatoes for a heartier meal. Use different vegetables like zucchini or asparagus. Make it spicy with chili flakes. Add parmesan before baking for a cheesy crust.
Storage and Reheating
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warm.
