Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 6 bacon slices

Vegetables

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

Seasonings & Oils

  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and halve the baby potatoes, and chop the broccoli into bite-size florets. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure the seasoning sticks evenly.
  2. Season the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, toss the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and all of the ranch seasoning mix until fully coated, ensuring each piece is wrapped in the tangy, herby flavor.
  3. Arrange on the Sheet Pan: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the center of a large sheet pan. Arrange the halved baby potatoes and broccoli florets around the chicken. Drizzle the vegetables with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper evenly over everything. Lay the bacon slices across the top of the chicken and vegetables or scatter them as preferred.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), the bacon is crispy, and the vegetables are tender and golden. About halfway through baking, flip the potatoes and broccoli to ensure even caramelization.
  5. Rest and Serve: Allow the sheet pan dinner to rest for 5 minutes after baking to lock in the juices. Plate the roasted chicken breasts, vegetables, and crispy bacon, then garnish if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use room temperature chicken for more even roasting.
  • Spread ingredients evenly on the pan to prevent steaming and encourage browning.
  • Flip veggies halfway through cooking for uniform caramelization.
  • Do not overload the pan to allow proper heat circulation.
  • Store leftovers promptly in airtight containers for freshness up to three days.
  • Freeze portions for up to three months in airtight containers or freezer bags.
