Hasselback Chicken Caprese With Roasted Broccoli

Low-carb, high-protein and a good source of veggies, this sheet pan supper is a riff on hasselback potatoes, but features chicken stuffed with heirloom tomatoes, mozzarella and quick homemade pesto. We roast broccoli florets on the same baking sheet—cauliflower florets are a great swap too.

Hasselback Chicken Caprese With Roasted Broccoli

Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 1 cup (18g) basil leaves, loosely packed
  • 3 tbsp (45g) olive oil, divided
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 medium garlic cloves
  • 1/2 tsp salt, divided
  • 4 (6 oz/170g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 5 medium (350g) campari tomatoes, sliced
  • 3 oz (85g) part-skim mozzarella, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups (225g) broccoli florets
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray. In a blender, combine the basil, 2 tbsp of the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and 1/8 tsp of the salt; blend until smooth to make the pesto.

Make vertical cuts every 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) in the chicken breasts, being careful not to cut all the way through, to create pockets. Fill each pocket with a slice of tomato and mozzarella, then spoon the pesto into the pockets. Sprinkle the chicken with the remaining 1/4 tsp salt and the pepper, and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Toss the broccoli florets with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, and remaining 1/8 tsp salt, and arrange on the baking sheet around the chicken. Bake until the chicken is cooked through and registers 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 20 minutes. Serve the chicken with the fennel on the side.

Sheet Pan Sausage and Cabbage

A baking sheet filled with roasted sausages, red cabbage, apples, and onions, garnished with herbs. Surrounding the baking sheet are small bowls containing mustard, sauerkraut, dipping sauces, and a refreshing peanut butter green smoothie on the side, along with sliced bread on a separate plate.

This weeknight interpretation of the classic Alsatian dish is a hearty meal of sausage, cabbage and potatoes — and it’s perfect for fall. This version takes the whole dish and makes it happen on a sheet pan for ease. Be sure to use a rimmed baking sheet to prevent the ingredients from sliding off.

Sheet Pan Sausage Choucroute Garnie

Ingredients

  • 1 small head red cabbage, cut through the core into eight 1/2-inch thick wedges
  • 1 lb (453g) baby red potatoes, halved if large
  • 1 apple, such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith, halved, cored and sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • 1 small yellow onion (125g), halved, peeled and cut through the root into 1/4-inch thick wedges
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp cumin or caraway seeds
  • 1/2 tsp yellow mustard seeds
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 4 precooked chicken-apple sausages
  • 1/4 cup parsley, roughly chopped

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.

In a large bowl, gently toss the cabbage, potatoes, apple, onion, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, cumin, and mustard seeds. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and use a spatula to flip the vegetables and apples. Arrange the chicken sausages on top and return to the oven. Roast for about 10-12 minutes more, or until the sausages reach an internal temperature of 165°F and are browned and the cabbage is crisp-tender. Let cool for 5 minutes.

Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Sheet Pan Tofu and Veggies in Sesame Sauce

Sheet Pan Tofu and Veggies in Sesame Sauce

If you ever resolved to eat more vegetables, this one-pan dish is right up your alley. The variety of vegetables contributes to hitting your vitamin A and calcium goals for the day just from this meal!

Crank up the oven and roast tofu, sweet potatoes, cauliflower and kale, and you have a veggie-rich meal. The easy tahini and lemon sauce is a tangy balance to the naturally sweet veggies.

Active time: 20 minutes | Total time: 50 minutes

Sheet Pan Tofu and Veggies in Sesame Sauce

Ingredients

  • 1 14 oz. package extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed dry
  • 2 cups (266g) sweet potatoes, cubed into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 2 cups (50g) kale, chopped
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 tbsp tamari soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). 

Cut the tofu into ½-inch cubes. On one rimmed baking sheet, arrange the tofu and sweet potatoes in a single layer and drizzle with 1 tbsp of the olive oil, tossing gently to coat. On a second rimmed baking sheet, arrange the cauliflower florets in a single layer and toss with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.

Place both pans in the oven and roast for 20 minutes, flipping the tofu and sweet potatoes once halfway through. After 20 minutes, add the kale to the cauliflower pan, toss to combine, and return to the oven. Continue roasting for an additional 8–10 minutes, until the sweet potatoes and cauliflower are tender and lightly browned and the kale is wilted and slightly crispy at the edges.

While the vegetables finish roasting, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, tamari, water, and garlic in a small bowl until smooth. Pour the sauce over the warm vegetables and tofu and toss to coat evenly.
