There are a lot of steps to making a great dinner. Why not save a few by reducing the number of dishes to wash? Sheet pan dinners emerge from the oven, and go straight to your plate. While they still require prep work, it’s worth it to see the satisfied looks on your family’s faces and having less scrubbing to do after the meal.
Cut down on cleanup with these all-in-one sheet pan dinners:
Chicken
1) Sheet Pan Cashew Chicken
Add a little crunch to dinner with this 30-minute start-to-finish recipe from i heart eating. Marinate baked veggies, boneless chicken breasts, and cashews in a sauce of red wine vinegar, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Cook and serve on top of white rice, brown rice, or quinoa with extra cashews.
2) Sheet Pan Bruschetta Chicken
For a no fuss dinner, look no further than Damn Delicious‘ colorful bruschetta chicken with garlic parmesan roasted potatoes. This refreshing dish will quickly become a family favorite, and not just because you’ll only have one dish to clean. First, prepare the bruschetta and set aside.

Add mozzarella to the chicken during the last 10 minutes of cooking, then top with bruschetta before serving.
3) Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas
Spice up your weeknight meal plan with No. 2 Pencil‘s chicken fajitas. This dish is a snap to make, and even easier to enjoy. Toss chicken tenders, sliced onions, and seeded bell peppers in olive oil and spices. Spread on an oiled sheet with limes and roast in the oven. Wrap tortillas in foil and add them to the oven in the last five minutes of cooking. To serve, squeeze the limes over the mixture and top with fresh cilantro before placing in the warm tortillas.
Beef
1) Sheet Pan Mini Meatloaves with Potatoes and Green Beans

Similar to the chicken fajitas recipe, this meal features one important difference: steak! Kirbie’s Cravings fulfills your own craving for red meat with this family fun dinner featuring flank steak. Thinly slice steak, onions, and bell peppers, and drench in olive oil. Then, sprinkle mixed seasonings over the mixture.

Featuring a zesty vinaigrette that doubles as a marinade and a sauce for serving, Epicurious‘ skirt steak dish will wow your family with its intricate tastes. The marinaded steak cooks over the broccolini and white beans, flavoring them with its tasty juices. After the steak is cooked to the desired doneness, thinly slice it against the grain and serve with the broccolini mixture and remaining vinaigrette on side.
Pork
1) Sheet Pan Chili Dijon Pork Tenderloin
Carls Bad Cravings‘ tenderloin recipe shows off just how versatile pork can be. Brine the tenderloin, dry-rub with a chili mixture, and then sear until brown. Brush the pork with the chili dijon glaze, then place on the green beans, allowing the juices to soak into the vegetables while cooking. After baking, transfer the veggies to a platter and pour remaining juices over the mixture. Cut the pork into thin slices and serve on top.
2) Sheet Pan Raspberry Pineapple Pork Chops
Sweet tooth, meet dinner. These slathered raspberry pork chops from Melanie Makes are studded with fresh pineapple and raspberries, giving mealtime a savory twist. Drizzle the green beans and potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper and arrange on the pan. Lay the fruits in a single layer with the veggies, then lay the olive oil-brushed pork chops on top. Remove from oven, brush with the raspberry pineapple sauce, and serve. If you want to make the sauce at home, this recipe should do nicely.
3) Sheet-Pan Pork Chops with Brussels Sprouts and Potatoes
Ah, the simplicity of standard fare like pork chops and potatoes. Perfect for a chilly night, Tablespoon‘s recipe takes a total time of 45 minutes for the hearty meal to make its way to your family’s plates. Flavor the potatoes with rosemary and thyme, and use garlic power, salt, and pepper to season the brussels sprouts. Finally, rub the spices onto the pork chops and arrange the meat between the starch and veggie on the pan.
Happy cooking!
