If you're looking for a quick, easy, delicious dinner, the recipe below has got you covered. This sheet pan chicken takes just 5 minutes of active work to prepare and is on the table in a half-hour. The combination of butter, garlic, and herbs lends incredible flavor to the chicken breast base.

Feel free to change this recipe up as needed to make it a full meal. Add vegetables like broccoli, potatoes, green beans, or asparagus to the sheet pan alongside the chicken, and serve on a bed of rice to soak up all that delicious sauce. You could even add a pinch of crushed red pepper or cayenne to lend a bit of a kick to the recipe, or prepare it with bone-in chicken for even more flavor (just be sure to cook a bit longer to ensure that the chicken is cooked all the way through). However you prepare it, it's sure to be delicious.
