This Tuscan Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner recipe is a super easy dinner recipe to put together when you don’t have a lot of time to cook.

If you’re not familiar with “sheet pan” type dinners, this is a relatively new way of cooking that teaches you how to prepare your entire dinner on a sheet pan- vegetables and all!  In this recipe, you have four chicken breasts with green beans and tomatoes.  It’s an all-inclusive dinner.

I don’t do book reviews that often, but this recipe comes from a sweet friend of mine:  Ree Drummond.  I love to review books from friends who I know to be super talented recipe developers!  You probably know Ree Drummond as The Pioneer Woman- either from her website or TV show on Food Network.  I know Ree as an early-days blogging friend who is sweet as can be.  It has been pretty fun to watch her bloom into fame.

The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Come and Get It! is the newest cookbook from Ree Drummond.  In this book, Ree focuses on simple, scrumptious recipes for crazy busy lives.  This applies to a lot of people, so I feel like this is a super useful cookbook to add to your cookbook collection.

The book includes recipes for all meals of the day.  A few recipes that have caught my eye are Crunchy French Toast Sticks (breakfast), Salad on a Stick (lunches on the go), Slow Cooker Beef Enchilada Dip (apps and snacks), Smothered Pork Chops (under 40 minutes), Honey Soy Salmon (under 20 minutes), Meatball Tortilla Soup (take your time), Steak and Bell Pepper (sheet pan suppers), Greek Grilled Eggplant Steaks (meatless marvels), Funeral Potatoes (sensational sides), Confetti Cornbread (bread, baby!), and Nutella Krispie Treats (sweets, glorious sweets).

This book is substantial— big— lots of recipes with lots of photos.  I love it, and it’s one that I’ll reach for again and again.

Tuscan Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner:

In this recipe, you’ll marinate the chicken in a balsamic dressing.  You’ll also marinate the green beans and tomatoes in the same balsamic dressing.  Then you’ll dump the dressing and spread out the goods onto a sheet pan.  I like to line the sheet pan with parchment paper for easy clean up.

If you don’t have a sheet pan, you should buy one here:  SHEET PAN ON AMAZON.  I use sheet pans for everything, but especially for baking cookies.  They’re awesome (I have at least 4 sheet pans!)

It takes only about 25 minutes (depending upon the thickness of your chicken) to roast in the oven.  you want to make sure your chicken is cooked all the way through (so it’s helpful if your chicken breasts aren’t super thick– and they should all be around the same thickness).  Once out of the oven, you’ll sprinkle the chicken with parmesan cheese and add some fresh parsley too.

I love the way the tomatoes and green beans take on a blistered appearance when roasted.  It’s all good!  We love this super easy Tuscan sheet pan dinner recipe!
