This recipe for One Pan Ranch Chicken and Veggies is perfect for a weeknight dinner when you are short on time and don't want to mess everything in the kitchen up.
Lately, I have been doing a lot of experimenting with one-sheet pan dinners.
What this is, is the perfect way to put a twist on cooking and make ALL of your food all on one tray, which frees up your time washing dishes and cooking in the kitchen.
Today I am going to share with you my favorite new sheet pan dinners -- one I have made multiple times now -- One Pan Ranch Chicken and Veggies Dinner.
All you need for this photo are just a few ingredients right from your pantry --
- Chicken
- Baby New Potatoes
- fresh veggies of your choosing
- brown sugar
- Garlic cloves, minced
- salt and pepper for taste
- ranch seasoning mix packet
Making One Pan Ranch Chicken and Veggies is simple and easy and your family will RAVE about the taste. So -- here is how you make this yummy dish!
One Pan Ranch Chicken and Veggies Dish
Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees. Then take a sheet pan like this one that I have (it is fairly large to accommodate all the veggies and chicken) and spray it with cooking spray.
Now, take each chicken breast and rub it generously with 1 teaspoon of brown sugar per chicken breast.
The brown sugar melts into the chicken creating this delicious sweetness that you will definitely sit up and take notice of when the dish is done.
Now, take your fresh veggies and spread them on the sheet pan in a single layer. I like to use new baby potatoes, baby carrots, grape tomatoes, broccoli, and sweet potatoes.
Drizzle the veggies with olive oil and then place the chicken on top of the veggies. Sprinkle on the garlic, and ranch seasoning. Then, season with salt and pepper to taste.
Place in the oven and roast the food until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes.
Then serve to your family for everyone to enjoy!

I've become a huge fan of these one pan meals. I love being able to cook an entire delicious dinner with minimal cleanup.
YUM! This looks so delicious! I could definitely make this tonight, because I have all of the ingredients in my kitchen right now. I'll let you know how it turns out! Thanks!
I make a dish similar to this, but without the ranch. Mine is more of a lime and herb kind of flavor, but it's so easy and a huge hit at dinner time. I'll have to find some more recipes that are a one pan dish.
I actually do love cooking on my sheet pans too! I do not however love the mess that comes with it.
I'm all for the only one pan to clean kind of cooking. I'm so glad Palmolive is making short work of that cleaning too!
oh my this looks delic. thanks so much for sharing. also my friend uses this liquid and loves it. she liks the way it smells.
It looks so easy and delicious! I've never made a dinner all in one pan! Will definitely try it!
I LOVE roasted veggies! I could eat them alone or as a side dish. I'm always making roasted veggies, even my kids seem to enjoy them.
I love trying one pan dinners. They are so easy to cleanup. I will have to get the ingredients i need to make this recipe on the weekend.
I love one pan dishes. They are so simple and the cleanup is also a breeze. That Palmolive looks like it would help me out too!
This is a great take on the one pot meals that are so popular. I particularly like the idea of putting brown sugar on the chicken and I will be trying that very soon.
I never thought of adding brown sugar to a ranch mix. I bet that tastes great!!
One sheet dinners are the best - easier clean up is a must in my book!
Would it change the cooking time if the pan was lined with aluminum foil. Seems like that would help some if the mess.
No that won’t change it at all!! Go for it
