The basic premise is simple: Combine protein and veggies on a baking sheet and roast in a hot oven until the protein is cooked through and the veggies are tender. Chicken dinners are always a hit—hearty vegetables like sweet potatoes and broccoli are a perfect pair for crispy, juicy chicken thighs—but we have plenty of delicious ideas for salmon, clams and (duh) pizza, too. Add a flavorful sauce, fresh herbs, and/or a squeeze of citrus for a quick and easy finishing touch. Seriously, when the hardest part is preheating the oven, you know you're in good shape. 21 Delicious One-Pot Dinners for Easy Entertaining 01 of 05 Sheet Tray Pizza Christopher Testani This recipe calls for two kinds of cheese, Italian sausage, and fennel, but if you're making your own pizza...then make your own pizza.
