Can I add more veggies to this sheet pan dinner?

Of course! There’s always room for more veggies. The recipe might only call for three types of vegetables but if you want to add in more, add them! I see no issues with that and think that the more vegetables you can introduce early on to your family, the better.

Adding in mushrooms would really take this sheet pan dinner over the top! 

Is it really necessary to marinate the chicken? 

It is. The longer that you can marinate the chicken, the more flavor you’re going to have. The recipe says an hour minimum but if you can do it a few hours longer, that’s better. 

You’ll really notice a lot more flavor the longer that you allow the chicken to marinate. 

How do you store leftovers from this chicken sheet pan dinner? 

Storing the leftovers are a breeze! All you need to do is store them in an airtight container or bag and store them in your fridge. The leftovers should be good for up to 2-3 days and are certain to taste awesome as leftovers!
