what is a sheet pan dinner recipe?
A sheet pan dinner recipe is a complete meal made on a single baking sheet. The recipe typically includes a protein such as chicken, steak, pork, fish, beans or tofu along with vegetables and seasonings. The whole meal cooks in the oven.
The ingredients that take the longest to cook, such as potatoes, go in the oven first. Quicker cooking ingredients, such as asparagus and chicken tenderloins, are then added many times with seasonings (like the awesome everything bagel seasoning). Everything cooks a delicious golden brown and the chicken sheet pan dinner is ready.
the ingredients
- small potatoes
- olive oil
- kosher salt
- pepper
- asparagus
- lemon
- mayonnaise
- Parmesan cheese
- tenderloins
- Everything bagel seasoning ~ My homemade version is below. Or buy a bottled brand of everything bagel seasoning.
Every day ingredients that are readily available at the grocery store make up this easy chicken sheet pan dinner recipe. The chicken tenderloins are tops on my list for quick dinners because they are juicy, tender and cook up lickety split.
how to make everything bagel seasoning
Everything bagel seasoning is a spice blend phenomenon. It's a crunchy, salty, garlicky mixture of poppy seeds, toasted sesame seeds, dried garlic and onion and coarse salt. It has made its name as a popular bagel topping.
The seasoning has so much culinary potential that it should be more than just a bagel topper. Here's how to make a homemade batch of everything bagel seasoning at home.
Combine the following and keep in an air tight container for up to 6 months.
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 2 tablespoons white and black sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon dried minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
Make a double batch of the versatile seasoning. Use it in cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner and even for snacks. Stir into mashed potatoes or rice, sprinkle on steamed broccoli or green beans, whisk into scrambled eggs, or sprinkle on hot buttered popcorn.
suggestions and recipe tips
- Purchase tiny new or baby potatoes for this recipe. They're an inch or so across and bake to creamy bites of goodness.
- Chicken tenderloins are my first choice for this recipe. Perfectly portioned, juicy and tender, they cook in about half the time of boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Chicken breasts cut into 1 by 2 inch strips is a suitable substitute.
- Evenly coat the chicken tenderloins with the Parmesan mayo mixture. This makes the chicken extra tender and cheesy.
- Trim off the woody ends of the asparagus (usually a 2 to 3 inch portion on the ends) as they are tough and chewy.
- Use a digital thermometer to check when the chicken is done. It should read 165 degrees F.
