When nobody can agree on dinner, pulling out one pan is often the easiest way forward. These 13 recipes cover chicken, salmon, sausage, pizza, nachos, and complete meat-and-vegetable dinners, with a few breakfast-for-dinner options in the mix. Most let the oven handle the cooking while you set out plates, warm tortillas, or prepare a quick topping.
Sheet Pan Chicken
Coated in a honey-lemon glaze, Sheet Pan Chicken roasts bone-in chicken thighs with baby potatoes, apples, and shallots in 55 minutes. The high oven heat crisps the chicken skin while the fruit and vegetables pick up the sweet, garlicky pan juices. It feeds 4 with everything already cooked together. Serve with bread, rice, or a green salad when dinner needs little discussion.
