I love sheet pan dinners because they come together super quickly and are perfect for when you haven't quite planned your week out in advance. Even though I basically live on my own, I find dinner to be the most difficult part of the day. Funny enough because most people say they struggle with lunches, but dinner is my tough meal. I want it to be delicious, but I don't always have the time to cook and make something fancy.

And because I count on my dinners to double as lunches for the next day, I really do need healthy dinner ideas to keep on hand for those crazy nights when I'm not home until 9pm because, well, life (mostly work and gym…the struggle is real guys).
Well, when I want to eat a quick healthy dinner I often turn to sheet pan dinners to get me through. Most of these easy healthy dinner recipes just take a few minutes of prep time and the oven does all the work so you can shower, hang out on the couch and watch Netflix…whatever you need to do while everything's cooking. And since everything cooks together on one pan, cleanup is no problem either.
But the benefits don't stop there. Sheet pan dinners are also a great way to clear out the fridge, and usually it's just a matter of doing some kind of sheet pan chicken breasts tossed with a bit of olive oil, a vinegar, hot sauce, soy sauce or honey mustard, and some spices from the your pantry. And of course ALWAYS garlic. Maybe some fresh herbs at the end. There's your basic sheet pan dinner formula!
