I’m all about easy recipes. This means I want limited prep time and limited cook time. In the summer we often cook on the grill because I can put some meat in to marinate and then we throw meat, veggies, and a potato on the grill and it’s ready in under a half hour with little prep time. However, it isn’t always convenient to grill out.
The newest trend in fast meals is the sheet pan suppers. I’m all for them because all you need to do is cut up your meat, potatoes, and veggies, put them on a sheet pan with sauce, and bake. They are super easy to cook and you can prep the veggies ahead of time.
Today I’m sharing a recipe for Sheet Pan Teriyaki Chicken and Veggies. You can add whatever you want to this dish but I chose to use chicken, broccoli, carrots, peppers, onions, and fresh pineapple. Then I whipped up a quick teriyaki sauce to pour over top of it.
I popped it in the oven and then put some rice on the stove as my side dish. It only takes about 30 minutes to bake and the prep time is around 10 minutes so you can have a meal on the table in around 45 minutes. The best part is that most of that time is hands off so you can do other things while it’s baking.
If you don’t want to make rice with this dish you could substitute quinoa. You could also make soba noodles and toss the chicken and veggies with them when everything is done cooking. No matter what you pair with it, the whole family will enjoy this easy to make Sheet Pan Teriyaki Chicken and Veggies meal for a weeknight dinner.
