Step 2: Prepare the vegetables by cutting the yellow squash and baby potatoes into chunky pieces and add them to a mixing bowl. Next, remove the stems from the mushrooms and add the caps to the mixing bowl. I leave the mushroom caps as they are but feel free to cut them up if you like.

Add vegetable oil to the vegetables and toss to coat with the oil then season with salt, black pepper and dried thyme. Toss once more to coat the vegetables with the seasoning. Arrange the vegetables on the sheet pan around the chicken breast pieces.

Step 3: Place your sheet pan chicken dinner into the oven. Reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake 35-45 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken breast is 165°F and the vegetables are tender as desired.

Preheating the oven to 400 ensures a hot oven and gives a boost during the beginning of cooking so you have your dinner on the table in less than an hour.

Yummy! This is definitely on my to-do list! Could bone-in thighs be substituted for the chicken breast?

Thank you, Nadine. They sure could but be sure to adjust the cooking time as dark meat takes a bit longer :)
