Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 6 slices of good-quality bacon

Vegetables

  • 1 pound potatoes or baby red potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups fresh vegetables (broccoli, green beans, or asparagus), trimmed

Seasonings and Others

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Preheat: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces, trim your fresh vegetables if needed, and pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness during cooking.
  2. Season the Chicken and Vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the chicken breasts, potatoes, and vegetables with olive oil, ranch seasoning mix, salt, and pepper. Make sure every piece is evenly coated to soak up the delicious flavors.
  3. Arrange on the Sheet Pan: Lay the chicken, potatoes, and vegetables evenly across a large rimmed sheet pan, spacing them apart for proper roasting. Place uncooked bacon strips across the chicken breasts or tuck them around the potatoes for crispy, smoky bites.
  4. Roast in the Oven: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the potatoes are golden brown and tender. Halfway through cooking, flip the potatoes and vegetables for even roasting.
  5. Broil for Crispiness: If the bacon or chicken needs extra crispness, switch the oven to broil and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish for a burst of color and freshness. Serve hot and enjoy your effortless Chicken Bacon Ranch Sheet Pan Dinner.

Notes

  • Cut potatoes and vegetables into similar sizes for even cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking the chicken and keep it juicy.
  • Do not overcrowd the sheet pan to allow proper air circulation and crisp edges.
  • Make your own ranch seasoning by combining garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, parsley, chives, salt, and pepper if desired.
  • Line your sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
