We love easy and healthy dinners made on sheet pans. It keeps the kitchen clean and everybody can easily serve themselves- this Ranch Chicken Dinner is a new favorite! Tender chicken breasts coated in ranch seasoning paired with roasted potatoes and broccoli make for the perfectly balanced family dinner. 
The secret ingredient to this recipe is homemade ranch seasoning. It is super simple to make and one batch of it goes a long way.
Ingredients needed for ranch seasoning:
- Buttermilk powder
- Powdered onion
- Powdered garlic
- Dried parsley
- Dried dill
- Dry chives
- Salt
- Pepper
For this recipe, I recommend using chicken breast cutlets- the thinner cut allows the broccoli and potatoes to roast alongside the chicken. Be cautious as chicken cutlets can become overcooked quickly. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs would also work. I would advise not cooking very thick chicken breasts with this recipe to avoid overcooked broccoli- but if you do, just precook the chicken and potatoes on the sheet pan for about 10 minutes, THEN add the broccoli.
Coat the chicken in a mixture of egg wash, then breadcrumbs and ranch seasoning combined, add to a sheet pan sprayed with nonstick. On the same sheet pan, toss the potatoes and broccoli with olive oil (you can combine them or keep them separate), then sprinkle with a little more ranch seasoning and give them a good toss. Bake it for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, and dinner is done! How easy was that?
The beauty of this dinner is not only how easy it is, but how versatile it is! Change it up, add more vegetables (asparagus, green beans, carrots, or zucchini would be delicious) or substitute white potatoes for sweet potatoes. Want less carbs? Skip potatoes and use cauliflower.
