Is it better to bake chicken at 350 or 400?

You can do either, but I prefer a higher temperature because it means a faster cooking time. Plus, you end up with chicken that’s crispy on the outside but still moist and tender.

Can you make sheet pan veggies and chicken?

Sure! To make sheet pan chicken with vegetables, choose veggies that can cook in the same timeframe as the chicken (think broccoli, asparagus, zucchini, or mushrooms rather than heartier veggies like potatoes or squash). Toss the veggies with a bit of olive oil and nestle them between the chicken breasts without overcrowding them.

What about bone-in chicken on a sheet pan?

You can cook bone-in chicken on a sheet pan, but you’ll have to increase the cooking time by quite a bit to make sure it’s fully cooked. If that’s what you have on hand, try my Jamaican Jerk Chicken or Sweet and Sticky Chicken recipes, which are geared toward different cuts of chicken.

How long does it take to bake chicken?

It depends on the type and thickness of the chicken. Chicken & lemon recipes like this sheet pan chicken cook quickly (in 15 minutes) because the breast is pounded thin or sliced in two halves.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Using the flat end of a meat mallet, pound out the chicken breasts so they become even in thickness with the thinnest part of the breast (OR slice the breast lengthwise into two thinner halves).
Place the chicken breasts onto the sheet pan.
Season all breasts with salt and pepper, plus any optional seasonings.
Place one optional orange or lemon slice on top of each chicken breast (discard when the chicken is done).
Bake at 400F for 15 minutes. Check the temperature of the chicken using a kitchen thermometer (it should be at least 165F).

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
