Sheet Pan Chicken Ratatouille

Ratatouille, a classic dish from the south of France, is packed with summer-fresh produce. This version takes the best of the classic dish, adds some chicken, and turns it into a sheet pan dinner. Chicken ratatouille is a lower-maintenance dinner that can be served hot, at room temperature, or cold.
Before we get going on this chicken ratatouille recipe, I should mention it’s a “let’s take a classic dish and change it“ creation. Purists may cringe, but pairing the ingredients in a classic ratatouille with chicken is a simple way to take what was a summer veggie side dish to a satisfying main dish.
Also, we’re messing with the method and spreading everything out on a sheet pan instead of painstakingly arranging it all in a baking dish. The latter definitely makes for a stunning presentation, but tossing it all willy-nilly onto a sheet pan also has a certain charm. Not to mention it’s easier.
So, if you’re looking for a way to use up garden-fresh veggies, this sheet pan ratatouille is the answer. It’s a light dinner packed with so many good-for-you ingredients and a summer kaleidoscope of deliciousness.
