If you're looking for a super quick and easy baked chicken recipe, this sheet pan chicken dinner is for you! Chicken breasts, zucchini, yellow squash and grape tomatoes cook in one pan for a light, flavorful low-carb dinner that's ready in less than 30 minutes!

I'm always looking for new easy recipes with boneless skinless chicken breasts, and it really doesn't get much easier than this one pan chicken dinner. It's kind of a lightened up Italian chicken recipe, and it's a delicious way to use up fresh zucchini and yellow squash!

As much as I love Instant Pot recipes, sheet pan dinners are just as easy, if not easier. Just throw everything on the cookie sheet, and bake! If you use foil or parchment paper -- clean-up is practically non-existent!

How to Make Baked Chicken with Summer Vegetables on One Sheet Pan

The key to getting the chicken breasts and vegetables to cook quickly and evenly together is to slice the chicken in half lengthwise. In other words, butterfly the chicken. Then, season it, and place it on a large rimmed baking sheet, along with olive oil.

Next, add some cut zucchini and yellow squash. Then, throw in a few grape tomatoes, season everything, and drizzle a little more olive oil on top.

This easy baked chicken dinner takes only about 15 minutes to cook.  It's perfect for busy weekdays, and you only have one pan to clean!

The tomatoes shrivel up slightly and make their own light sauce. So good!  You can add a little shredded Parmesan cheese and a bit of butter at the end for even more flavor!
