This nutrient-packed sheet pan chicken roast is easy to make and classier than a casserole. We used colorful, Keto-friendly vegetables, but you can sub any nutrient-dense options. Instead of chicken, use sliced sausage, or add shrimp during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Or swap cubed tempeh for the chicken and omit the cheese for a vegan-friendly option.
Sheet Pan Chicken & Vegetables with Black Olives and Basil
Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 cup thickly sliced portobello mushrooms
- 1 medium zucchini, cut into ½-inch chunks
- 1 large yellow or orange bell pepper, cored and chopped
- 1 small red onion, coarsely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1½ lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 Tbs. olive oil
- ½ tsp. red pepper flakes, or to taste
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup finely shredded baby spinach leaves
- ½ cup pitted black or Kalamata olives
- ¼ cup fresh basil, shredded

Preparation
- Preheat oven to 400°F. In large bowl, combine broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, zucchini, bell pepper, onions, garlic, and chicken. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss to mix.
- Transfer to large, rimmed baking sheet and spread out in single layer. Roast until vegetables are just tender, about 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven and stir vegetables.
