Why You’ll Love This One-Pan Herb Chicken & Roasted Veggie Bake
There’s something so satisfying about a complete meal that roasts all together in one dish. No juggling pots and pans, no mountain of dishes to tackle afterward. The herb blend adds layers of flavor that elevate everyday ingredients, and you can easily swap in whatever vegetables you have on hand.
This recipe is also meal-prep friendly. Make a big batch on Sunday and enjoy flavorful leftovers throughout the week. Plus, it’s naturally gluten-free and can be made dairy-free if needed.
What Chicken Cut Works Best for Roasting with Veggies?
Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are my top pick here because they stay juicy and absorb flavor beautifully, even at high oven temps. If you prefer chicken breasts, just keep a closer eye on the bake time to avoid dryness.
Bone-in pieces also work well, especially if you’re after crispy edges and deeper flavor. Just know they may take a little longer in the oven, so you might want to add the veggies partway through to keep them from overcooking.
Ingredients for the One-Pan Herb Chicken & Roasted Veggie Bake
The ingredients are simple, wholesome, and totally adaptable. What makes this dish sing is how everything roasts together, absorbing that garlicky, herby goodness.
- Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- Baby potatoes
- Carrots
- Red onion
- Zucchini
- Olive oil
- Fresh garlic
- Italian seasoning
- Fresh thyme
- Salt and pepper
The chicken thighs bring tenderness and rich flavor. Baby potatoes hold their shape and crisp beautifully on the edges. Carrots add a touch of sweetness, while red onion deepens the savory bite. Zucchini gives a light, juicy contrast to the starchier veggies. The olive oil ensures caramelization and moisture, and the herbs and garlic infuse the entire pan with irresistible aroma and flavor.


How To Make the One-Pan Herb Chicken & Roasted Veggie Bake
Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
Wash and cut all your vegetables into evenly sized pieces for uniform roasting. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel.
Step 2: Make the Herb Marinade
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, fresh thyme, salt, and pepper.
Step 3: Toss Everything Together
Add the chicken and vegetables into the bowl and toss until evenly coated. You can also marinate the chicken separately for extra flavor.
Step 4: Spread on a Baking Sheet
Arrange everything on a large sheet pan in a single layer. Try not to overcrowd to allow for browning.
Step 5: Roast to Perfection
Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 30 to 40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked and veggies are golden and tender.
Step 6: Let It Rest and Serve
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
How to Serve and Store Your Herb Chicken & Roasted Veggie Bake
This recipe generously serves 4 people, making it perfect for a family dinner or meal prep for two over a couple of days. Serve straight from the pan for a rustic and homey presentation. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or in a skillet to bring back the roasted texture.
You can also freeze the cooked chicken and vegetables separately for up to 2 months. Just make sure everything is completely cooled before sealing and freezing.
