Easy Sweet Chili Chicken & Veggies Sheet Pan Meal

Quick & Easy Chicken Sheet Pan Meal – Ready in 30 Minutes!

This sweet chili chicken sheet pan meal is one of those meals that I keep coming back to because it just checks all the boxes. It’s a quick healthy meal, it doesn’t leave my kitchen looking like a tornado came through, and—most importantly—everyone in my house actually eats it without complaint. That’s a rare combo, right? Especially when veggies are involved.

You can use boneless skinless chicken breast or boneless skinless chicken thighs. I like the chicken thighs because they don’t dry out so quickly. Another great options would be to substitute shrimp, it is delicious with this combination!

You can totally switch up the veggies based on what you’ve got on hand or what needs to be used up in the fridge. Bell peppers, broccoli, zucchini, snap peas… they all work. I’ve even thrown in leftover green beans or baby corn, and it still turned out delicious. If it roasts, it goes in the pan. The sauce makes everything taste so amazing, even for the picky eaters.

Let’s talk about the sweet chili sauce for a second—It’s sweet, a little spicy, and totally addictive. You could probably drizzle this sauce on a piece of cardboard and it’d taste good. 365 by Whole Foods Market, Organic Sweet Chili Sauce is a pretty good option and Date Lady Sweet Chili Sauce is a more expensive option but amazing ingredients! Different sauces have different levels of spice so always be sure to try them out. Other brands can contain some pretty crappy ingredients, so be sure to take a look before purchasing! I usually grab a bottle and keep it in the pantry for nights just like this.

Another pro tip? Double the recipe and pack up the leftovers for lunch the next day. The flavors are even better after hanging out in the fridge overnight. It reheats well and doesn’t get weird like some leftover meals can. My kiddos will even pack it in a thermos for there school lunch!

Also… this is a great “clean out the fridge” meal. You know, the one you throw together when you’ve got half a pepper, a stray onion, and a lonely carrot hanging around. Toss it all in the sweet chili sauce and boom—dinner. Done.

Basically, if you are looking for an easy, low-effort dinner that feels a little more exciting than the usual routine, this one’s a keeper. Sheet pan to the rescue. 🙌

If you’re searching for quick and easy meals for the family that also sneak in some veggies, The Crockpot Ground Beef Philly Fix is always a crowd pleaser!

Ingredients

• Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast or Thighs cubed-the thighs definitely don’t dry out as quick but both are great options!

• Diced Yellow Squash- I cut these pretty small since they take a little longer to cook

• Diced Zucchini

• Diced Red Onion

• Diced Sweet Peppers

• Sliced Mushrooms

• Sweet Chili Sauce- 365 by Whole Foods Market, Organic Sweet Chili Sauce is a pretty good option and Date Lady Sweet Chili Sauce is a more expensive option but amazing ingredients! Different sauces have different levels of spice so always be sure to try them out. Other brands can contain some pretty crappy ingredients, so be sure to take a look before purchasing!

• Avocado Oil

• Pepper

• Smoked Paprika- I buy the BIG container from Amazon, we use this on everything! (Doesn’t have to be smoked, but it adds a little something extra if it is!)

Other Veggie Options:

I like to use up whatever veggies are needing to get used up in my fridge! Other veggies that would go great with this would be:

• Broccoli
• Carrots
• Cauliflower
• Brussel Sprouts
• Peas
• Using frozen vegetables isn’t advised, as they will be soggier and water down the sauce more. If you need to use them in a pinch, I would run them under hot water first and try to get as dry as possible!

Protein Variations

There are a lot of options for subbing out the chicken breast!

• Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
• Shrimp
• Kielbasa
• Could also make this with just the veggies as a side dish!

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 425’F
• Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil for easier cleanup. Add the chicken, veggies, season with pepper and paprika, evenly drizzle with the olive oil and 1/2-3/4 of the chili sauce depending on the level of heat you are wanting, toss to combine.
• Roast for around 15 minutes-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender. If desired, drizzle with extra chili sauce, this is a great way to keep a family with varying levels of heat tolerance happy! We like to serve over basmati rice.
