Weeknight Chicken Sausage & Veggie Sheet Pan Dinner

Weeknight Chicken Sausage & Veggie Sheet Pan Dinner is perfect when you need dinner in a hurry! It’s full of hearty vegetables and ready in minutes as a one pot dish that’s nothing more than chop, season, & bake!

Some nights I simply don’t have enough time or energy to make dinner and on those nights, I pull out a trusty sheet-pan dinner. I love sheet pan meals like this Chicken Sausage & Veggie Sheet Pan Dinner because they’re basically a one pot dish that’s as simple as slice, season, and bake!

My recent favorite is this Chicken Sausage & Veggie Sheet Pan dinner! It has a hearty helping of vegetables, juicy chicken sausage pieces and a punch of spice! And of course, the best part about this meal is it’s totally customizable!

If you aren’t a fan of chicken sausage you can swap in beef, pork, or whatever you have on hand! Currently, I’m loving Bilinski’s Mild Italian Chicken Sausage. It’s so tasty, organic, and the nutritional information is some of the best I’ve seen when compared to other brands found at the grocery store. Bilinski Mild Italian Chicken Sausage only has 90 calories, 4.5g fat, 12g protein per link and the flavor is spot on with just a hint of spice! (I can’t wait to grill it up this summer smothered in onions & peppers!)

My go-to veggies for this Chicken Sausage & Veggie Sheet Pan meal are green beans, peppers, onions, and potatoes but feel free to swap in asparagus, carrots, broccoli or whatever favorite vegetables you have hanging out in the fridge! As for the spices, if Italian sausage is spicy enough for you, then skip the heat, leaving out the smoked paprika. Once everything’s prepped, toss it with a bit of olive oil and seasoning and throw it all on the sheet pan to bake for 35 minutes.  I serve my Chicken Sausage & Veggie Sheet Pan Dinner with a side cooked quinoa and a hefty sprinkling of parmesan cheese!

This Chicken Sausage & Veggie Sheet Pan dinner is also a great weeknight meal because it makes a large serving with plenty of leftovers! <3M and I both love the leftovers for lunch the next day or scrambled in a skillet with some eggs in the morning for a rustic, farmhouse-like breakfast. Trust me on this one, these leftovers are great for breakfast!

However you choose to enjoy Chicken Sausage & Veggie Sheet Pan dinner, I promise you’ll find yourself putting this meal on repeat since it’s perfect for those busy weeknight dinners!
