Instructions
Creating the BBQ Chicken Sheet Pan Meal is as straightforward as it gets. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
3. Prepare Vegetables: Place the sliced bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
4. Arrange on Sheet Pan: Lay the seasoned chicken thighs on one side of a large sheet pan. Spread the prepared vegetables on the other side.
5. Add BBQ Sauce: Brush a generous amount of BBQ sauce over the top of the chicken thighs, reserving some sauce for later.
6. Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
7. Glaze the Chicken: In the last few minutes of cooking, brush more BBQ sauce on the chicken for an extra sticky glaze.
8. Broil (Optional): For a charred finish, you can broil the dish for 2-3 minutes at the end. Just keep a close eye to avoid burning.
9. Rest: Once done, remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
10. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
