Ingredients

Chicken and Sauce

  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons ranch seasoning mix

Vegetables

  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 cups baby carrots
  • 1 cup broccoli florets

Seasonings and Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a large sheet pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Make Creamy Sauce: In a large bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, and ranch seasoning mix. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Coat Chicken: Add the boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts to the creamy sauce mixture, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
  4. Prepare Vegetables: On the sheet pan, toss the halved baby potatoes and baby carrots with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread these vegetables evenly on one half of the pan.
  5. Arrange Chicken: Place the coated chicken pieces in a single layer on the other half of the sheet pan, making sure they are not overlapping for even cooking.
  6. Bake Initial 20 Minutes: Bake the chicken and vegetables in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. This starts cooking the chicken and softening the veggies.
  7. Add Broccoli: Remove the pan from oven and tuck the broccoli florets in between the chicken and other vegetables, distributing them evenly.
  8. Continue Baking: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Once done, garnish the dish with fresh chopped parsley if desired, then serve hot and enjoy your creamy chicken sheet pan dinner.

Notes

  • Use bone-in chicken if preferred, but increase bake time to ensure thorough cooking.
  • Feel free to substitute vegetables such as green beans or bell peppers based on preference.
  • For a lighter version, substitute sour cream and mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
  • Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
  • Let the chicken rest a few minutes after baking for juicier results.
