❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Baked Chicken and Potato Sheet Pan Dinner
1. Can I use chicken breasts instead of thighs?
Yes you can. Chicken breasts will work but they may cook faster so check for doneness a few minutes early. Bone in skin on breasts will give the best results for moisture.
2. Do I need to cover the dish while baking?
No you do not need to cover it. Baking uncovered allows the chicken skin to get crispy and the potatoes to brown nicely. If you cover it the dish will steam instead of roast.
3. Can I add other vegetables?
Absolutely. Carrots, broccoli, or bell peppers work well. Just cut them into similar sized pieces so they cook evenly. You may need to add them halfway through baking if they are quick cooking vegetables.
4. How do I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave. The potatoes will not be as crispy after reheating.
5. Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes you can prep the chicken and potatoes in the bowl and keep them covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When you are ready to eat just spread them on the baking sheet and bake as directed.
