Ingredients

Chicken tenders
Homemade Garlic Parmesan Sauce or Buffalo Wild Wings Parmesan Garlic sauce
Kielbasa or any smoked sausage
Asparagus
Baby potatoes
Baking soda
Olive oil
Salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika
Parmesan Cheese

Prep Sheet Pan Meal

First, preheat your oven to 400 degrees and get out a big sheet pan. Spray the sheet pan with cooking spray, or cover it with aluminum foil for easy clean up.

Start by washing all the produce and chopping the ingredients. Wash the baby potatoes and cut them into quarters.

Add the potatoes to a pot of boiling water along with the baking soda. The baking soda will help make the potatoes crispier, but add it slowly so it doesn’t boil over.

This will not fully cook the potatoes, but will parboil them. Parboiling the potatoes will help them cook more evenly in the oven.

Let the potatoes boil for eight minutes or until they are just starting to be fork tender. Drain the potatoes and set aside.

Wash one bunch of asparagus and cut the hard ends off of it.

Chop one 14 oz package of your favorite kielbasa or smoked sausage up into thin rounds.

Make Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Veggies

To make the sheet pan meal, add the parboiled potatoes to a bowl and season with some olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

Toss the potatoes until well coated in seasoning. Pour the potatoes out onto one section of the sheet pan.

Next, add the asparagus to the bowl you just used for the potatoes. Season with a little bit more of the same seasonings.

Add the asparagus to another section of the sheet pan. Add the chopped Kielbasa to the sheet pan.

Finally, add the chicken to a bowl. Season the chicken tenders with some salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

Add some homemade Parmesan Garlic sauce. Use tongs to stir the chicken around in the seasonings and sauce.

If using bottled sauce, you can use Buffalo Wild Wings or any brand you like!

Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Veggies Sheet Pan Meal ready to be baked

Place the saucy chicken tenders on the sheet pan and place the pan in the oven. This will cook for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.

Sometimes the chicken releases some liquid while cooking. I like to pour off some of the extra liquid and place the pan back in the oven under broil for just a couple of minutes.

Keep an eye on it, so it doesn’t burn!

Serve Sheet Pan Meal

Once the chicken is fully cooked, it’s time to eat! Top the chicken, potatoes, and asparagus with some Parmesan cheese and dried parsley.

This Garlic Parmesan Sheet Pan Chicken and Veggies are great as is and don’t really need any extra sides. However, you could serve it with some macaroni and cheese or with some rice.

Serve with any of your favorite sauces! My family used some ranch for the chicken and ketchup for the potatoes.

If you have any leftovers, store them in an air tight container in the refrigerator! Reheat leftovers in the microwave, air fryer, or oven until warm!

You will love this sheet pan dinner, because it’s easy to make, so good, and it’s kid-approved!

Tips and Substitutions

Any seasonings can really be used in this recipe. I like to keep it simple with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Any variations of kielbasa or smoked sausage will be good in this recipe! Use beef, pork, or even turkey kielbasa.
I used homemade Garlic Parmesan sauce, but you can use bottled Buffalo Wild Wing’s sauce or any brand you like.
I like this combo of veggies, but this is a great meal to use up whatever vegetables you have in the fridge.
This cooked in my oven at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes, but all ovens cook differently and cooking time can vary.
If your chicken or vegetables releases liquid while cooking, carefully pour that off the pan into your sink. Place the sheet pan meal back in the oven for the last couple of minutes.
Always cook chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees.
For crispier potatoes/veggies you can spread this out between two large sheet pans instead of just one and stir a couple of times while it cooks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vegetables go with Garlic Parmesan chicken?

So many vegetables go well with Garlic Parmesan chicken! Potatoes, onions, asparagus, broccoli, green beans, or zucchini would all be good options!

What should I serve with Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Veggies?

The great thing about this sheet pan meal is that it can definitely be the entire meal! If you want an extra side a salad, some rolls, or macaroni and cheese would be good with this meal.

Why is there extra liquid on my sheet pan?

Sometimes when chicken and vegetables are baked they release liquid. Towards the end of the 20-25 minutes you can carefully pour a little bit of liquid off of the sheet pan meal and let it finish cooking in the oven.

Why parboil the potatoes with baking soda?

Parboiling the potatoes with baking soda helps create a rough, starchy surface on the potatoes. This helps the insides stay nice and fluffy while creating a crispy outer coating.

Do I have to parboil the potatoes?

If you don’t want to parboil the potatoes you wouldn’t have to. However, the baby potatoes will not be tender after only 25 minutes in the oven. Instead of boiling the potatoes you could place the quartered potatoes in the oven while prepping the rest of the ingredients. Baby potatoes are usually tender after about 40-45 minutes in the oven at 400 degrees.
