Honey Balsamic Sheet Pan Chicken and Veggies is not only a lifesaver meal on weeknights, it is a gorgeous meal to prepare when you are having a couple of friends over on Saturday night. The taste is delicious and the presentation is gorgeous! It is almost completely hands-off, so you’re able to do other chores, check items off of your to-do list, help kids with homework or sit and catch up with friends. This is sure to become a family favorite for both its taste and ease of making it!
How to Make Honey Balsamic Sheet Pan Chicken
This is so easy to throw together! I love sheet pan recipes for that reason!
Start off by making the honey balsamic sauce and set aside.
Drizzle the olive oil on the sheet pan.
Cut up red potatoes and place on the center of the sheet pan with 2 chicken breasts. Chop the red onions in half and spread on a sheet pan. Spread the green beans around the sheet pan and sprinkle with seasonings.
Slice the lemons and place on top of the chicken and vegetables. Place small pads of butter on the chicken and veggies. Pour the sauce on top of the chicken and vegetables and cook at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until juices run clear. Allow the chicken to rest for five minutes before slicing the chicken.
Can I Substitute the Vegetables
Absolutely!! This is a great time to use what you have! You know how that is…we all have those times where we have one potato, two onions, 52 carrots and a half of a head of broccoli left over from other recipes! This is the time to use all those up! Permission granted! Just try to use hearty vegetables. Some of the more delicate veggies like zucchini squash will cook faster and become mush in this recipe.
Can I Substitute Honey
Yep! One of my favorites is to mix in maple syrup for the honey. You will change up the flavor quite a bit but it will still be delicious.
How to Meal Prep Sheet Pan Chicken with Veggies
This is a great meal to prepare ahead of time and be able to toss in the oven in minutes when you are ready!
- Either measure everything out ahead of time or completely combine the honey balsamic sauce and refrigerate. If you do, put it in a microwave safe container so you can zap it in the microwave for 5-10 seconds to soften the honey before pouring on the chicken and veggies.
- Cut up all the vegetables so they are ready to toss on the sheet pan.
- Lay out the sheet pan and any utensils you might night. (I prep all little things like this so I can have meals like this in the oven in 5-7 minutes!)

Honey Herb Roasted Carrots with a Balsamic Glaze – can you tell that we are loving balsamic vinegar? These carrots are so good that we tend to eat them right off of the sheet pan, I am embarrassed to admit!
Oven Roasted Portobello Pizza – this is hands down my favorite way to make pizza thanks to the herb oil that is brushed on the mushrooms. It is so good that you feel like you are in an expensive restaurant instead of eating at home!
Roasted Red Pepper Tahini Cauliflower – if you haven’t tried roasted cauliflower before, you have to go try it! It is so good just plain with salt and pepper, but it gets even better when you add a little bit of toppings to it. I drizzled this cauliflower with roasted red pepper tahini! So fun!
