Ingredients and substitutions

Frequently Asked Questions
For this recipe, the chicken and veggies are seasoned with dry ranch seasoning and sriracha sauce. You can use a store-bought ranch seasoning or make your own using dry buttermilk, dried parsley, dried chives, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, salt and pepper.
The chicken in this recipe needs to cook for 25-30 minutes alongside the other veggies on the sheet pan. It’s a great weeknight dinner idea and since there’s hardly any prep involved, it’ll be ready in a flash.
Making this dish low carb is as simple as leaving out the potatoes! You may want to check on your packet of ranch seasoning as well if you’re really trying to watch your carbs, as there may be some hidden in different ranch seasoning brands. In place of potatoes, you can sub in some cauliflower or just leave the potatoes out altogether – there's so much in this recipe, you likely won't miss 'em!
Storing and reheating
You can store any leftovers in the fridge in glass meal prep containers for 4 to 5 days. I prefer to store it all in individual serving sizes – that way, all I have to do is pull one out of the fridge, reheat it and enjoy.
To reheat, sprinkle a little bit of water over top of the chicken and then reheat it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
Freezing this chicken
The chicken in this recipe will freeze just fine, but the veggies will definitely change texture and get all mushy, so I don't recommend freezing this dish. You can try, but it just won't be the most appealing thing to eat.
If you are concerned about too many leftovers, I suggest cutting the recipe in half and eating everything within a few days.

Comments & Reviews
Tori says
This recipe was amazing! My picky 11 year old ate all the veggies with enthusiasm. I was feeling a little bored with our normal dinner recipes and am so glad I found this one. We will definitely add it into the rotation.
Kelsi says
hello! Do you think it would be ok to chop and mix everything the night before ? We’re usually in a time crush to get supper on the table and my 2 year old to bed early so if I could do all the prep the night before then the next day just pop the pan in the oven that would make my life easier!
Taylor Stinson says
Hi Kelsi – you can definitely chop and mix everything the night before, if anything I’m sure it would add more flavour!
Tamara says
Hi there,
I’m using tofu in place of chicken. Would you recommend a bit more oil added as it won’t have any fat from meat?
Taylor Stinson says
Hey Tamara – I don’t think you would need any extra added oil but that said, I haven’t tried this recipe with tofu. You could add a splash more if you feel you need it!
Cory R Huston says
How many of the baby potatoes do you use exactly? I saw you said 3/4 cup but I don’t know how many that is. The video looks like you used more than that amount would be.
Taylor Stinson says
Hey Cory – I’m unable to give the exact number of baby potatoes as the sizes vary. You should use 3/4 cup of chopped baby potatoes as listed.
Nikkij says
Hi! I’m so excited to try your recipe! Would frozen veggies work for this?
Taylor Stinson says
Hey Nikki – I don’t recommend roasting frozen veggies. I think you need to use fresh here!
Michael says
I’m a fairly new firefighter which makes me the low guy on the totem pole and ipso facto the “chef” these recipes have been a huge help in terms of what to cook and more importantly, a huge hit with my crew! I appreciate the simplicity and quick turn around as well as the way these meals are nice…twice. We like to cook and clean once and reheat for supper and these are perfect for the needs of the job!
Taylor Stinson says
Hey Michael – I am so happy my recipes have helped and that you love them so much!!! I’m the same as you, I like to cook and clean once then reheat everything. It just feels nice to have your meals prepped and ready to enjoy whenever you’re hungry. Please let me know if you ever have any requests and thank you so much for the kind words 🙂
