    This Prosciutto and Cheesy Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner is unbelievably quick to make! It's a simple recipe, but has so much flavour and colour, it will look like you've spent hours in the kitchen.

    Prosciutto and Cheesy Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner
    This Prosciutto and Cheesy Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner is a problem-solver. Whether you're a busy parent with kids in extra-curricular activities or retired, like me, we all want a repertoire of dinners that can be prepared and on the dinner table fast! But more than that, we want to avoid highly processed food and serve our families fresh nutritious meals that taste fabulous.

    This chicken sheet pan dinner does just that. Problem solved.

    It's an effortless meal, full of your favourite Italian flavours--cured Italian ham, melty mozzarella, creamy potatoes, zucchini, onion, garlic and fresh cherry tomatoes, topped with herbs and a crowning drizzle of balsamic reduction! So good!

    This Prosciutto and Cheesy Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner is easy to make

    Line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easy clean-up. Lay boneless, skinless chicken breasts down the middle and sprinkle with minced fresh garlic.

    Top each chicken breast with a slice of prosciutto and a slice of mozzarella cheese.

    Surround the chicken with chunky vegetables that will cook in 20 - 25 minutes. I used zucchini and red onion to keep with my Italian flavour theme and added chopped Yukon gold potatoes. I tossed all the vegetables with olive oil, salt and pepper.

    Once baked, I added halved cherry tomatoes on the top of each cheesy chicken breast, and garnished the sheet pan dinner with fresh parsley, thyme, fennel and rosemary.

    Although it doesn't show in the photo, just before serving I topped each chicken breast with a little balsamic drizzle. Prosciutto added lots of flavour to this sheet pan dinner. Melted mozzarella held everything together and the chicken stayed moist and juicy.

    Sheet pan dinners are the answer for those times when you need a wholesome, nutritious supper on the table fast! I have several favourites now, including this Sheet Pan Chicken and Roasted Harvest Vegetables,  Hoisin Orange Sheet Pan Chicken and my newest favourite, Thai Chili Sheet Pan Salmon.

    If you haven't tried making sheet pan dinners yet, and you love roasted vegetables, (and like easy clean-up) add one of these to your "things to try" list this week!

    Tips for making sheet pan dinners

    Choose cuts of meat and vegetables that will cook at the same time.

    For example, when I made Maple Walnut Crusted Sheet Pan Halibut I knew that fish would cook very quickly.  I chose vegetables that would do the same, in this case, thin asparagus spears and thinly sliced sweet potatoes.

    Likewise, when I made Hoisin Orange Sheet Pan Chicken, I used bone-in skin-on chicken thighs and so I choose thick slices of sweet potatoes that take longer to roast.

    In this chicken sheet pan dinner with prosciutto and cheese, I knew the boneless chicken breasts wouldn't take long to cook, so I cut the potatoes small.
