Sheet Pan Pesto Chicken and Veggies

Sheet Pan Pesto Chicken and Veggies is the perfect quick and easy meal for two! Not to mention, it’s healthy, whole30 compliant, gluten-free, and dairy-free.

The story behind this-

Taylor and I were both working from home one day this week. Usually, we might step out for lunch together, or DoorDash something, or maybe eat some leftovers. This time, (being so close to the wedding) I cleaned out our fridge, threw it on a sheet pan with some pesto, and voila! Freaking DELICIOUS. Oh, and healthy? Nutritious? Quick? D, all of the above?

Lately I’ve realized my body just does really well if I stick to mostly whole30/ gluten-free/ dairy-free during the day. No post-lunch nap needed; in fact, it fuels me through the afternoon! Who would have thought that food could be so impactful 😉

So, there you have it. Sheet pan pesto chicken and veggies. Feel free to swap out whatever you have! A little jar of pesto can go a long way in terms of making meals easy and delicious. This would also make a wonderful dinner. If you feel like you need a little more, I’d add some grains/rice for a bowl situation, or serve it with a little side salad.

Also underated: this is a perfect meal for two people. No leftovers, no waste. I just love it when that happens.
