Healthy sheet pan chicken parmesan and broccoli is my way of enjoying typical chicken parm while ditching the carbs for fresh, roasted veggies. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my carbs. This dish would pair perfectly with a side of whole wheat pasta as well. Feel free to add pasta. I opted to exclude the pasta this time around. Lately, I have been taking full advantage of the flexibility I have to eat healthy regularly, while indulging WHENEVER I feel the need. 🙂 To compensate, I adjust my weekly meals accordingly.
To say sheet pan meals have been a recent obsession of mine would be an understatement. I feel like I have been dreaming about sheet pan meals to create. I have yet to see a chicken parmesan creation. Let’s hope Stay Snatched is the first!

The white wine and basil really bring out the amazing flavor in this marinara recipe. I seriously never go wrong whenever I add wine to a dish.
You will likely have a little extra marinara and mozzarella cheese left over. If you plan to eat leftovers, KEEP IT! I I drizzled the additional marinara and cheese in my Tupperware. This comes in handy during the reheating process. Helps ensure your chicken doesn’t dry out and isn’t bland.
