Hey, y'all! Meal prep can be a daunting task -- but, there's one tried and true method that makes it doable for even the busiest of schedules: using the sheet pan method! Accordingly, I'm excited to share my recipe for Sheet Pan BBQ Chicken and Vegetables with y'all today. It's easy to make and delicious all week long!
Sheet Pan BBQ Chicken, Easy Meal Prep
The Sheet Pan Method
This method is my favorite because, well, it only involves one sheet pan! That makes cleanup as easy as possible, y'all. On a weekend, in preparation for a busy forthcoming week, I think we can all appreciate less time spent in the kitchen.

FAQ
Traditionally, no -- but, I have a trick: use thinly-sliced chicken and dice/chop the vegetables into small pieces (especially the sweet potatoes). This will make the cook time so much faster + uniform!
Use your favorite high-quality BBQ sauce; I most often use Sweet Baby Ray’s!
Choose your choice of breast or thighs. I most often use thinly-sliced, boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165F. I recommend always using a meat thermometer!

About Dan-O’s
Dan-O’s is a Kentucky-made seasoning that is low sodium and full of flavor. The difference in sodium is significant: there’s only 50 mg per serving compared to most seasoning blends, which have 200 – 300 mg of sodium/serving. Also of note: the salt in Dan-O’s is all-natural, unrefined sea salt. It’s a pure salt that hasn’t been stripped of its nutrition or minerals.
The flavor profile of Dan-O’s is complex, as it is truly the perfect mixture of herbs and spices: rosemary, sage, parsley, citrus peel, and more. Try it once (and try it on everything) — and you’ll never go back! You can shop Dan-O’s here.
