Italian cooking at home isn't complicated. It's garlic, butter, a little parmesan, and chicken that comes out of the oven browned and hot enough to steam the plate.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection on the nights when everybody's hungry at once and nobody wants to stand at the stove stirring. Sheet pan and slow cooker do most of the work.
Every recipe here is a full dinner. The Garlic Parmesan Sheet Pan Dinner with mini gold potatoes and asparagus, Chicken Marsala with butter and flour-dredged breasts, Veggie Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner with brussels sprouts and purple onion, Garlic Butter Roasted Chicken with drumsticks and baby carrots, and THE BEST one pot vegetarian dinner for a meatless night.
Quick Tips
- 1
Cut potatoes small
Halve or quarter mini gold potatoes so no piece is bigger than about 1 inch — they'll finish in the same 25 to 30 minutes as the chicken.
- 2
Add asparagus late
Toss asparagus onto the sheet pan for only the last 10 to 12 minutes, or it goes limp and gray before the chicken is done.
- 3
Pound the chicken breast
For marsala, flatten breasts to about 1/2 inch before flouring so they cook through in 4 to 5 minutes a side and stay juicy.
- 4
Give the pan room
Spread everything in one layer with a little space between pieces — crowding steams the vegetables instead of browning them. Use two pans if you need to.
