    Cheesy Chicken And Vegetable Bake

    One-pan meals always make my life easier after a hectic day. I only need 10-13 minutes to prepare the meal and then leave the oven to do the rest. I simply can’t stop making the one-pan meals; Very simple! Very versatile!

    For the cheese in this recipe, I used cheddar because it really adds a good flavor; however, I also tested the recipe with mozzarella cheese, and it was good but not as good as the version with the cheddar cheese.

    If you want more one-pan chicken recipes, check Mediterranean chicken and vegetables for dinner.

    Ingredients

    recipe ingredients

    Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    Peas: Use frozen peas or fresh ones; I used frozen peas.

    Carrot: I prefer using a fresh carrot because when the frozen carrot defrosts, it becomes soggy.

    Chicken: I used chicken breasts however, chicken thighs also work well.

    Onion: I used red onion.

    Cheese: I used shredded Cheddar cheese, you may use mozzarella if you prefer.

    Tomato sauce: any kind you have on hand; it adds a delicious flavor.

    Seasonings: Salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder

    Parsley: I used chopped fresh parsley to garnish my dish.
