Why I love a Sheet Pan Meal
Sheet Pan Meals are among some of my favorite, especially for this season in my life. All one pan (less to clean), quick cooking time, and simple ingredients. Perfect for a busy weeknight dinner or a lazy Sunday meal.
This Chicken Bacon Ranch Sheet Pan Recipe is a one bowl and one pan recipe which makes me very happy. Just use the same bowl for coating each ingredient in the oil and ranch seasoning.

Tips for Cooking a Sheet Pan Meal
Here are some basic tips for cooking a Sheet Pan Recipe to make sure it comes out great. These work on all kinds of sheet pan recipes like this Chicken Bacon Ranch Sheet Pan Recipe.
- Use a sheet pan with high edges like a jelly roll pan to keep all the goodness from going all over the oven
- Pair things that have similar cook times or add shorter cooking time items to the sheet pan halfway through cooking
- Cut items into similar size pieces to help cook more evenly
- Line your pan with parchment paper to help with easy cleanup
Using Fresh vs Frozen Broccoli
For this Chicken Bacon Ranch Sheet Pan Recipe, I use Frozen Broccoli. You can definitely use fresh broccoli as well.
I used frozen in this sheet pan recipe because a) it’s what I had on hand and b) it helped with matching the cook time for the potatoes and chicken.
If you use fresh broccoli, try adding it halfway through cooking time so it doesn’t get overdone or too soft.
Change up the Sheet Pan Recipe Seasoning
This Chicken Bacon Ranch Sheet Pan Recipe is all about the ranch seasoning, but you can use this recipe with all kinds of seasoning options. Try one of these below!
- Mexican- taco seasoning packet
- Lemon, Garlic, Pepper, and Parmesan Cheese
- Italian Seasoning- oregano, basil, thyme, garlic, mozzarella cheese
- Balsamic- Balsamic vinegar, basil, garlic, thyme, honey, and parmesan cheese

Chicken Bacon Ranch Sheet Pan Recipe
Simple ingredients, one pan, done in 30 minutes. A mix of chicken, potatoes, broccoli with ranch seasoning throughout then topped with bacon pieces and melty cheese. Easy and delicious sheet pan meal for dinner.
Ingredients
3–4 boneless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 2 inch pieces
1 lb small russet potatoes (or 3 medium size russet potatoes), cut into 1 inch pieces
10 ounce bag frozen broccoli florets
1 packet Ranch Seasoning Mix
Olive Oil
5–6 strips bacon, cut into pieces (not cooked)
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a 9×13 jelly roll sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, add the cut potato pieces. You can peel potatoes before cutting if preferred, but I leave the skin on. Pour a long drizzle over the potatoes and then shake about 1/3 of the Ranch Seasoning Packet over the potatoes. Use a large spoon to mix potatoes in the oil and ranch to get them all coated. Pour potatoes onto 1/3 side of the prepared sheet pan.
3. You can use the same bowl to pour the frozen broccoli into. Add another long drizzle of olive oil and another 1/3 of the ranch seasoning packet over the broccoli. Mix broccoli up to get it all coated in the oil and ranch mixture. Pour onto the middle 1/3 of the sheet pan.
4. In the same large bowl, add the chicken pieces and then a large drizzle of oil and the remaining 1/3 of the ranch seasoning packet. Stir the chicken up in the oil and seasoning to get it all coated. Place the seasoned chicken on the remaining 1/3 side of the sheet pan.
5. Cut bacon into small pieces and place all over the entire sheet pan ingredients. Place sheet pan in the oven and cook for 20 minutes.
6. After 20 minutes, remove sheet pan and sprinkle the 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the entire pan. Place back in the oven for another 10 minutes until cheese is melty.
7. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes or so and then spoon up and serve!
Notes
**If using fresh broccoli, season it the same and then set aside in a separate bowl. Add to the sheet pan with 10 minutes left of the 20 minute first stage cooking Continue cooking and follow the remaining directions.
