Recipe: Sheet Pan Pesto Chicken & Veggies

Recipe: Sheet Pan Pesto Chicken & Veggies
December 27, 2021Recipes

Sheet pan meals strike gold again with this pesto chicken and veggie dish. A bold and flavorful sauce like pesto plays a starring role, pulling together almost any protein and vegetable combination. While classic basil pesto works great, you could also consider a sundried tomato pesto for a fun twist.

This recipe works great for plate method meal prep, incorporating all three elements. Portions can easily be divided into single-serving containers for reheating at lunchtime. Check the list of ‘swaps’ to customize your creation or add variety to this dish, which may easily become a go-to favorite!
