Sheet Pan Caprese Chicken

Serves 4

This recipe makes dinner a snap using our Secret Speedy Technique #1: The Sheet Pan. A sheet pan dinner utilizes oven roasting to create healthy dinner options quickly and easily. This caprese chicken is juicy and seasoned with fresh lemon juice, then stuffed with fresh mozzarella cheese and tomato slices. Since the broccoli and chicken had slighlty different roasting times, we used a separate sheet pan for the broccoli. Spread the broccoli out on the pan to ensure that it will roast properly and not simply steam. This recipe couldn't be easier to execute, and creates a tasty, colorful, and healthy dinner.
