Quick answer — What is sheet-pan chicken & veg traybake? 

 
A one-tray dinner of chicken thigh, sweet potato and broccoli with mild herbs — minimal washing-up, no chopping-board choreography, and everything finishes cooking at the same time. Easily doubled for a family meal shared with younger toddlers at the table.

    
One of the easiest weeknight dinners in the toddler repertoire: everything goes in one tray, and the soft-roasted textures suit toddler eating without any separate preparation.

 
## Ingredients

 
 * 4 boneless chicken thighs
* 1 sweet potato, cut into chunks
* 1 head broccoli, cut into small florets
* 1 tbsp olive oil
* Mild dried herbs (e.g. thyme)
 
 
## Method

 
 * Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan).
* Toss the chicken and sweet potato in the olive oil and herbs on a large baking tray.
* Roast for 20 minutes.
* Add the broccoli florets, toss again, and roast for a further 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are soft.
* Check the chicken is cooked through (no pink, juices run clear) and cut into toddler-sized pieces before serving.
 
  
## Tips

 
 * Shred the chicken rather than serving whole chunks for younger or more cautious eaters.
* A squeeze of lemon after cooking brightens the dish for the adults at the table.
