Sheet Pan Pesto Chicken & Broccoli
Bright One-Sheet Pan Pizazz happening right here.
Great for a quick complete weeknight dinner, also FANTASTIC for weekly Meal Prep!
In just over 30 minutes your nutritious meal is ready to eat.
We quickly coated the chicken pieces in our bright tangy fresh pesto, which adds SO MUCH SASS and freshness to our finished meal. Just such a great combo throughout spring and summer!
I utterly adore sheet pan recipes – and this one will likely require a permanent spot in our dinner rotation.
One Pan method means less cleanup and more time to enjoy.
Each time I make a batch of homemade pesto I ask myself why I don’t make it more often! It’s just SO good, and brightens up any meal!
I hope you enjoy this recipe and it becomes one that you make throughout the upcoming spring and summer months because it’s such a bright and beautifully balanced meal!
Try this with our Homemade Pesto Recipe.
For Meal-Prepping:
Divide your chicken/broccoli mixture equally into 4 separate air-tight containers. Add a 1/2 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice to each serving.
Cover with lids and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Transfer your pesto chicken to the sheet pan, among the broccoli pieces.
