Ingredients

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

  • 3 cups broccoli

  • 1 lb. baby golden potatoes, cut into small pieces

  • 1.5 lb. chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness

  • 3 teaspoon olive oil

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • 10 oz cream of chicken soup

  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese, shredded

  • 1 tablespoon parsley, freshly chopped

  • 2 teaspoon garlic, minced

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a 13x18-inch sheet pan with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.

  2. Arrange the broccoli on one side of the pan, place the chicken breasts in the center, and the diced potatoes on the opposite side.

  3. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken, potatoes, and broccoli. Sprinkle everything with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Make sure the ingredients are spread out and not overcrowded to ensure even roasting.

  4. In a small bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, shredded parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and minced garlic. Spread this creamy mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the potatoes are fork-tender.

  6. If desired, turn on the broiler for the last 1 to 2 minutes to lightly brown the top of the chicken.

  7. Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy.

Variations

  • Different Veggies: Swap broccoli for green beans, Brussels sprouts, or zucchini.

  • Add Spice: Sprinkle red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne for a kick.

  • Swap Proteins: Use boneless thighs or pork chops instead of chicken breasts.

  • Low-Carb: Replace potatoes with cauliflower or turnips for a low-carb option.

  • Cheesy Upgrade: Add mozzarella or cheddar over the chicken before baking.

  • Herb Boost: Use Italian seasoning or rosemary in place of parsley for a different flavor profile.

  • Cream of Mushroom: Substitute with cream of mushroom soup for a richer, earthier taste.

Storage/Reheating

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

  • Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, or microwave individual portions for 1-2 minutes.

  • Freezing: Freeze fully cooked portions in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

FAQs

Can I use frozen broccoli instead of fresh?

Yes, but be sure to thaw and pat it dry first to avoid excess moisture that could make it soggy.

Can I prep this ahead of time?

Absolutely. You can chop the veggies and prepare the sauce mixture ahead of time. Assemble just before baking.

What if I don’t have cream of chicken soup?

You can use cream of mushroom, cream of celery, or make a homemade white sauce as a substitute.

How do I know when the chicken is done?

Use a meat thermometer—chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Can I use chicken thighs instead?

Yes, boneless skinless thighs work well and may even stay more moist than breasts.

How do I make this dish spicier?

Add crushed red pepper flakes or mix a bit of hot sauce into the cream sauce for heat.

Can I cook this at a lower temperature?

You can, but it will take longer. 375°F would require about 35–40 minutes of cooking time.

What other cheese can I use instead of parmesan?

Mozzarella, cheddar, or Monterey Jack would all be delicious alternatives.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Use a dairy-free cream soup and skip the cheese or use a vegan cheese alternative.

Why are my potatoes still hard?

Make sure they are cut into small, uniform pieces. If they're too large, they may need extra roasting time.

Conclusion

This Creamy Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner is the ultimate solution for busy weeknights. It's simple, satisfying, and loaded with comforting flavors—all without dirtying a mountain of dishes. With easy prep, fast cooking time, and built-in versatility, this recipe is sure to become a staple in your dinner rotation.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ pounds yellow squash, cut into ¼ inch slices
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup white onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Cheesy Sauce:
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 cups Colby Jack cheese, shredded
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme or ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • Cracker Topping:
  • 1 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray an 8x8 baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. Slice the squash into ¼ inch slices.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add squash and onion and sauté for about 8 minutes until soft.
  4. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
  5. Transfer cooked squash mixture to a colander and let it drain for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to remove excess liquid.
  6. In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, eggs, cayenne, salt, pepper, parmesan cheese, and thyme.
  7. In another bowl, combine crushed crackers with melted butter until fully coated.
  8. Layer ⅓ of the cheese sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, followed by half of the drained squash mixture. Add another ⅓ of the sauce, the remaining squash, and then the rest of the sauce.
  9. Top evenly with the buttered cracker crumbs.
  10. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

  • You can use any buttery cracker for the topping if Ritz is unavailable.
  • Do not slice squash too thin, or it may become mushy.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3–4 days.
