Can I use regular chicken breasts instead of tenderloins?
Yes. Use 2.5 lbs of regular chicken breasts cut into strips or left whole, but add 5–10 minutes to the baking time to ensure they cook through completely.
How do I know when the chicken is done?
The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F at the thickest part, checked with a meat thermometer.
Can I prepare this ahead of time?
Yes. Assemble the pan up to 8 hours in advance, cover tightly with plastic wrap, refrigerate, then bake when ready—add 5–10 minutes to baking time if starting cold.
Can I scale this recipe up for a crowd?
Yes. Double or triple the ingredients and use two sheet pans, arranging vegetables and chicken in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
