Hi friends!
Comin’ at ya today with this Sheet Pan Caprese Chicken because it’s basically the perfect way to welcome summer. I’m a huge fan of sheet pan meals because they’re so easy to throw together and even easier to clean up. This one cooks in no time at all thanks to bite-sized pieces of chicken and quick-cooking vegetables. With summer just around the corner, I knew I wanted to include some zucchini and squash in this recipe because gardens will soon be overflowing with them. Cherry tomatoes add a pop of color and some extra juiciness.
I served this over farro, but it would also be great over quinoa, your favorite pasta or just by itself. Feel free to swap squash for broccoli or green beans and if you prefer pesto over Italian herbs you could make that swap as well!

I grabbed some corn on the cob and just threw it right on the sheet pan and cut off the kernals after cooking but you could also sub frozen or canned corn.
