One of the easiest ways to prepare a meal is on a sheet pan, especially when everything cooks at the same time and temperature. This sheet pan maple dijon chicken and vegetables meal is no exception. Whether you are looking for an easy weeknight meal with minimal cleanup or a healthy meal prep idea, this recipe is sure to hit the spot. Chopped carrots, shallots and broccoli florets surround juicy chicken breasts coated in a sweet and savory maple dijon sauce for the easiest and most flavorful meal ever.
Why is everyone into sheet pan meals?
I guess the question is… why not?! They are beyond easy to prepare. I think next to crock pot meals, sheet pan meals are the easiest ones to prepare, especially on busy nights. Simply throw everything onto the sheet pan, and bake. Everything cooks at the same time, and sheet pan meals are so versatile. One of my go-to sheet pan meals is my Sheet Pan Sausage, Peppers and Onions. It’s a fool-proof recipe, and is a crowd-pleaser. I also love my Healthy Sheet Pan Teriyaki Chicken and Vegetables , Sheet Pan BBQ Chicken and Vegetables , Healthy Greek Sheet Pan Chicken and Vegetables and Sheet Pan Italian Chicken and Vegetables. Any pf these sheet pan meals would make an excellent easy dinner, or perfect meal prep for the week.
I also love sheet pan meals for those nights when you just don’t feel like standing at the stove. Once you throw this pan into the oven, you’re done. The cleanup couldn’t be easier, too. Here, I use parchment paper on top of the sheet pan to make cleanup even easier. There’s nothing worse than finishing a delicious dinner, just to turn around and see a sink full of pots and pans. Here, it’s one and done… one sheet pan to wash, and that’s it!
Aside from some chopping, there is not much work involved here. You can easily prep lunch for the week in 45 minutes (including chopping and cooking) without standing at the stove.

How to make maple dijon sheet pan chicken and vegetables
To make this recipe, start by preheating the oven to 400F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and burning. Add olive oil spray to the parchment paper as well.
Peel and chop the carrots (I like to cut them into round coins, as opposed to making the pieces super tiny). Slice the shallots. In a small bowl, combine the spice ingredients – the salt, garlic powder, paprika and dried thyme. Arrange the vegetables and chicken on the sheet pan, and add more olive oil spray on top. Season the vegetables and chicken with the spice mixture, make sure to coat both sides of the chicken breast.
In another bowl, combine the maple syrup, olive oil and dijon. Pour this mixture over the chicken breast (toss to coat) and on the vegetables. Put the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 30 minutes or until the chicken breast’s internal temperature reaches 165F. Once you remove the sheet pan from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley.

How to serve this meal
This recipe has everything you need for a complete meal built right in: the protein and the vegetables. For dinner, you can also pair this with some brown rice or roasted potatoes if you want a starchy carb alongside. For lunch, you can eat this as is, or with a side salad. Really the options are endless here: the roasted vegetables and chicken are so delicious on their own, but also great paired with other sides or in a wrap.
To reheat for meal prep, simply pop one portion into the microwave to warm through.

Just made this for my meal prep lunches. Smells and tastes amazing 😊
This was so delicious and even one of my kids devoured it! What size sheet pan do you have I had to spread all the food across 2! What I live about your recipes is the real size servings of food. Looking forward to leftovers for lunch.
I had to use 2 baking sheets also
Made this tonight and it was really flavorful and easy! Will definitely put in my rotation! I added some cubed butternut! Thanks Steph for a great dinner idea!
Delicious! I made for meal prep but couldn’t resist a little taste. Yum!
This is so, so good! So full of flavor and the chicken was cooked perfectly! I can’t wait to have it again tomorrow for lunch! My husband raved about it, too, commenting that it was one of the best things I’d made in awhile. Didn’t even serve it with a side. Just chicken and veg. Winner, winner chicken dinner!
I made this last night when I had friends over for dinner! Paired with a salad, french bread, and boxed mac and cheese (haha), it was DELICIOUS! It felt like the perfect meal. The maple dijon tasted different (but so good) on the chicken vs the veggies, and it made the meal feel layered. I can’t wait to make this again!
This was very flavorful and an easy weeknight dinner. Prepped the veggies in the morning so it was super easy to toss together at night. Will def make again!
This was so easy to make and what a great combination of mustard and maple syrup! Thank you!
Loved it… but I don’t think 6 shallots were needed!
I meal prepped this sheet pan recipe for the work week and it was delicious! I served it with white rice on the side. Highly recommend!
Amazzzzing!!!! My favorite of yours so far
I make so many of your recipes and love them all. But, I am not a fan of this one. I thought it lacked flavor.
I made this tonite for dinner and it was delicious and so easy and quick to prepare. This recipe appealed to me as I crave the flavors of maple this time of year; I was so impressed how well the Dijon complimented the maple. Well Done Steph!!
Another AMAZING recipe by Steph!
I added one cubed sweet potato, precooked a bit in the microwave.
Thanks Steph!!
Made this and it was delicious! Substituted green beans for broccoli because that’s what I had. The shallots were delicious. This is fall flavors on a plate!
So easy and delicious! Wonderful weeknight meal to just throw all on one pan.
This is now on our list of go-to weeknight dinners! It was delicious, quick to throw together, flavorful, and filling!
So delicious! Made it for dinner tonight- super easy and delicious!
This was so delicious! And healthy which was even better! I had to use two sheet pans because i don’t have a large one unfortunately. There was plenty of veggies which I loved and perfect portions.
The whole family loved this one
Absolutely delicious ❤️❤️❤️ definitely making this a regular go to for chicken cutlets. Chicken was not only tasty but super moist. I used frozen green beans which I defrosted in a bowl of cold water instead of broccoli.
This may just be my new favourite sheet pan recipe! Easy prep, amazing flavours, reheats nicely – what more could you ask for!! So good!
I’m making tonight.
My husband complimented this dinner and he rarely does. Amazing flavors. Second time I’m making this. Now that summer is over back to cooking in the oven.
DELICIOUS!!! So, so, so flavorful. The best part of this, was I already had everything on hand, it’s definitely pantry staples. Super easy, and SUPER good. Make this one ASAP!
I made this for dinner the other day and it was delicious! The sauce and spices on the chicken and veggies were super flavorful and it was very easy to make. My husband and I both loved it. I made a double recipe and it was great for leftovers for later in the week.
I loved the flavor of this sheet pan dish, but the carrots did not cook all the way through. I chopped the just as is seen in Stephanie’s picture. When I make it again, I will pre-roast them first for about 15 minutes.
