Summer Sheet Pan Chicken and Veggies — Fast, EASY, HEALTHY, and perfect for your seasonal summer zucchini, squash and tomatoes!! A DELISH one-pan meal with zero cleanup that’s great for lazy summer days or busy weeknights!!
Easy Summer Chicken Recipe
I love sheet pan dinners because they’re easy, tasty, and ready in no time. The chicken in this recipe is tender, juicy, and infused with lovely lemon flavor from lemon pepper as well as Italian seasoning.
Since we’re still in swimsuit season, this skinny dinner gets some bonus points for having lean protein, veggies galore, and it’s naturally gluten-free.
Even though I don’t have a garden, ’tis the time of year where the stores and markets have an abundance of inexpensive summer squash varieties and tomatoes.
My daughter has sports practice year-round and a very short summer off from school, so it feels like we are always in ‘busy weeknight’ mode. Because the chicken sheet pan dinner recipe is made on a sheet pan, cleanup is as easy as tossing away a sheet of foil. The less dishes I have to do after a long day, the happier I am.
What’s in Sheet Pan Chicken and Veggies?
To make the roasted chicken and veggies, you’ll need:
- Chicken breasts
- Zucchini
- Yellow squash
- Olive oil
- Lemon pepper seasoning
- Italian seasoning
- Kosher salt and pepper
- Tomato
How to Make Roasted Chicken and Veggies
This sheet pan chicken and vegetables recipe couldn’t be any easier! Simply line a sheet pan with foil, then add the chicken and veggies and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Then, bake until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender. To finish it off, add the sliced tomato and dig in!
Can I Use Different Veggies in This Dish?
Definitely! I used two large zucchini, one large squash, and a tomato to make this sheet pan chicken and vegetables, but you can switch that up and you can mix and match based on what your family enjoys. Try broccoli, sugar snap peas, bell peppers, mushrooms, green beans, red onions, or whatever floats your boat.
Tips for Making Sheet Pan Chicken and Veggies
I held off an adding a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to the top of the roasted chicken and veggies, but it would be lovely. Or try a spoonful of minced garlic, a drizzle of soy sauce, or chili garlic sauce if you want to amp up the flavor even more.
If you need something extra to round off this meal, I recommend serving the sheet pan chicken and veggies with steamed rice or buttered noodles. It’s a simple meal, but a delicious one!
Note that this recipe is best warm and fresh, but leftovers will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.

I added a few baby gold potatoes. I’m going to make it again, varying the vegetables . It’s perfect for me! Thank you.

Do you marinate this What do you use to marinate it?

Looks delicious! Love the easy clean up!
Easy clean up is the name of my dinner game :)
Perfect supper idea!
Thank you! :)
I have all of these ingredients on hand already since I do have a garden!! Perfect timing :)
Well isn’t that handy! Good for you for keeping up a garden!
I love your sheet pan recipes! The mix of Italian seasoning and lemon pepper sounds wonderful on all of this–and parmesan over all of it would be a “must” for us!!
It’s a great seasoning mix and definitely jazzes everything up!
This was fantastic!! Someone left a behemoth sized zucchini at the office and I was the only one brave enough to take it home. I peeled and seeded it and it was quite delicious out of the oven!
Glad this turned out fantastic for you! It pays to be brave and take those behemoth zucchinis home :)
