Substitutions and Swaps
- Use other cuts of chicken instead of thighs. I recommend sticking with skin on in order to put the garlic underneath.
- Try other vegetables, such as Brussel sprouts or zucchini.
How to Make Sheet Pan Garlic Chicken
Start by preheating the oven.
Make the marinade, and place the chicken in it, moving them around to get it all over.
Next prepare the veggies by chopping the carrots into coins and trimming the green beans.
Combine the vegetable marinade in a small bowl, then mix it with the carrots and green beans. Spread the veggies out on the baking sheet, but leave room for the chicken.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, but place the garlic from the marinade underneath the chicken skin. Place the chicken on the pan with the veggies.
Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes, or until a thermometer reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit in the chicken. Enjoy!
Top Tip
This meal is full of garlicky goodness, but to keep it easier, feel free to use pre-chopped garlic instead of peeling and chopping the garlic yourself.
This step makes a fast meal even faster!
