How To Make One Pan Chicken & Veggies Dinner
Find the full recipe card with ingredients and nutritional breakdown below. Here are some step-by-step photos to guide you through.
- Step 1. Prepare the chicken. Trim excess fat from the chicken and cut it into bite-size pieces. Season with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you like.
- Step 2. Prepare the vegetables. Cut broccoli florets in halves for quicker cooking and keep sweet potato cubes small to ensure they cook through.
- Step 3. Cook the chicken first. Sear the chicken in a skillet until cooked through.
- Step 4. Deglaze the pan. Remove the chicken, deglaze the pan with water or chicken stock, and set aside.
- Step 5. Cook the vegetables. Add more oil to the pan, then cook sweet potatoes and onions before adding broccoli.
- Step 6. Cook with chicken. Add the chicken back to the pan along with garlic and reserved pan juices. Cook until everything is heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice and garnish with parsley or green onions, if desired.
