Welcome to a Recipe Swap
It’s here! The fall edition of Freaky Friday!
If you’re not familiar with Freaky Friday, let me explain. It’s a recipe swap between some of my blogging friends and myself that we do once a season. My good friend, Michaela, from An Affair From the Heart secretly assigns each of us someone else’s blog.
Then, we pick a recipe from the blog we’re assigned and make it to share on our own blog. It’s fun for us because we get to try a new, yummy recipe and then we get to share it with our own readers. At the bottom of this post, you will find links to the recipes that all of my friends made, too.
This time I was assigned to Madi at Mildly Meandering. Her blog has so many delicious recipes and beautiful photography. It was so hard to choose just one recipe to make.
Some of her recipes that really stood out to me were this Easy Garlic Bread Dip, these Cuban Sliders and her Tuscan Chicken Pasta. But, in the end, I couldn’t resist giving her Sheet Pan Lemon Rosemary Chicken and Veggies a try. I absolutely love sheet pan dinners and this one looked so good and sounded so flavorful.
I definitely was not disappointed in my choice. The prep work is easy, the flavor is amazing and clean up is a snap. It makes a great weeknight meal, but it would also be a fantastic dish to serve when you’re entertaining.
The easy clean up is one of the reasons I love sheet pan dinners. And, typically the prep work is also quick and easy. But, the delicious flavor is what really makes this lemon rosemary chicken and veggie sheet pan dinner special.
The chicken and the veggies are tossed in a quick and easy vinaigrette that makes this dish over the top delicious. The combination of lemon, garlic, fresh rosemary and thyme is insanely good.
I promise you’ll love it. It takes a simple chicken dinner to the next level.
Tips and Tricks
- I recommend cutting the chicken breasts in half lengthwise so that they cook through quicker. You can alternatively use chicken tenders.
- For extra easy clean up, line your sheet pan with parchment paper. Nothing will stick and your pan will just need a quick wash.
- Go with fresh herbs. The flavor will be fresher and more intense. This will make your taste buds extra happy.
- To round out the meal, serve with some crusty bread or these easy classic popovers and butter.
Before you race to the kitchen to make this delicious dinner, make sure you check out all of the other great Freaky Friday recipes at the bottom of the post. You’re sure to find a few other recipes you can’t resist.

Rosemary chicken is one of the few meals that our boys ask for by name. I’ve only made it in a skillet but look forward to trying this handy and convenient sheet pan method. Gorgeous job, as always!!!

Sheet pan dinners are so much in demand, especially during the week. I love family meals that are this easy and delicious.
That marinade looks delicious…. I love how quick this comes together… it seems like the perfect meat for fall day!
With everyone’s busy schedule, I love a 1 pan or 1 pot meal. Fewer dishes to wash and more time spent together. I have a hedge of rosemary bushes outside my front door that just found a new purpose!
I totally agree, the less clean up the better and this dish tastes so fabulous!
Some of my very favorite ingredients in one easy meal! Can’t wait to add this to the menu.
Im so glad you chose this recipe! It’s one of my favorite dinners to make!

I tried this sauce on turkey meatballs last night and served them to my very picky children and their even pickier cousins. What a HUGE hit! I cannot thank you enough – you’ve added a new staple to their diets …
