🌶️🍗 This Sweet Chili Chicken and Vegetables recipe is an EASY, 15-minute meal, made on ONE sheet pan, perfect for busy weeknights! Accidentally healthy, it’s a little bit sweet with a little bit of heat for the perfect flavor balance!
Sheet Pan Sweet Chili Chicken and Veggies
Is there anything better than a sheet pan dinner? With endless options like my sheet pan sausage and veggies, sheet pan shrimp fajitas, and this sweet chili sauce chicken, they’re one of my secrets for getting dinner on the table.
- With minimal prep time and hardly any cleanup, this recipe is ready to eat in 20 minutes!
- The recipe is naturally gluten-free, healthy, and filling from the veggies. You can always serve it with rice or another grain if that’s what you prefer.
- Make extras so you have leftovers to store in the refrigerator for meal prep you’ll look forward to eating.
Yum! This was so delicious. I was hesitant to try another new sauce when it says “heat”. But no regrets with Trader Joes Sweet Chili Sauce – it is very flavorful. Served with a bit of rice and enjoyed by hubby and me.

Ingredients You’ll Need
To make this easy sheet pan chicken and vegetables recipe, you’ll need the following simple ingredients:
- Chicken breasts: You can substitute boneless, skinless chicken thighs if preferred. Just adjust the cooking time as needed
- Veggies: I use broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, and carrots, but use whatever you have on hand. Brussels sprouts, fennel, baby bok choy, yellow or red onion, sugar snap peas, zucchini, and sweet potatoes/yams/baby red potatoes, or butternut or acorn squash all work well
- Olive oil
- Ground black pepper
- Sweet chili sauce
Tip: If you choose to go with potatoes or squash, make sure to chop them smaller than the other veggies and give them a 10-minute head-start in the oven on their own before adding the chicken + other vegetables, since they take longer to cook.
Where Can I Buy Sweet Chili Sauce?
If you have a Trader Joe’s in your area, their Sweet Chili Sauce is a slam-dunk winner. Or order it on Amazon if that’s easier for you. It’s sweet, with a bit of heat from the chilis, but it’s not overly spicy. There is plenty of garlic in it, too.
Otherwise, check out this Thai Sweet Chili Sauce. It’s similar to the TJ’s sauce, but the bottle is only about half the size, and since I am a sauce girl all the way, I would need two bottles of this brand for this recipe versus one bottle of TJ’s.
I used three-quarters of a 10.1-ounce bottle before baking, and drizzled the remainder after baking.

How to Make Sweet Chili Chicken and Veggies
This sweet chili sauce chicken recipe is so quick and easy to throw together!
- Simply add diced chicken pieces to a sheet pan along with your favorite vegetables, arranging them in a single layer. Make sure to dice your veggies (or florets) all approximately the same size so everything cooks at the same rate.
- Drizzle with olive oil and sweet chili sauce. You can also toss the ingredients in a large bowl. Roast until the chicken is fully cooked. It only takes mine about 15 minutes, but you’ll know it’s done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165F.
- Serve with steamed rice or noodles, if desired. Cauliflower rice would be another great option. I like to add a sprinkle of sesame seeds and green onions, too.
Sweet Chili Roasted Chicken and Vegetables
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1.25 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced into bite-sized pieces
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cups cauliflower florets
- 2 large carrots, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds on the bias
- 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
- 10- ounces sweet chili sauce, or as desired; divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F. If you have a convection oven, use it; if not a conventional oven is fine.
- Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil for easier cleanup and to it add the chicken, vegetables, evenly drizzle with olive oil, season with pepper, evenly drizzle with 3/4 of the chili sauce, toss with your hands to combine, and roast for about 14-15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are crisp-tender. If baking in a conventional oven, you may need to bake slightly longer, 17-18 minutes, but watch your food and not the clock.
- Evenly drizzle with the remaining chili sauce, if desired, and serve immediately.

I have made a lot of your sheet pan
dinners but not this one yet. Anxious to
try. Sounds delicious!
Thanks for trying so many of my recipes and that this one is on your list!
Averie, Love all of you recipes I have made. It is nice to make something different. Thank you
Great Taste and easy recipes
That’s wonderful to hear that you’ve been loving all the recipes you’ve made and they’ve been great, tasty, and easy!
Can you use frozen veggies or will it be too soggy?
I personally do not like frozen vegetables in recipes like this for that reason. Perhaps they would work, not sure. But for a guarantee use fresh.
great
Okay for a quick meal. Sauce is a bit too much sugar and salt. There are better recipes on this site.
I made this and it was a super hit with my fam as well as myself. I like quick and easy recipes in one pan! This one definitely is a winner! Thank you.

Thanks for another winner, Averie. I added some pineapple chunks and potatoes that were in the fridge, also. I think anything made with sweet chili sauce is going to be good…
