Will a sheet pan work instead of a skillet?
Yep – it sure will! Just make sure to use a sheet pan with a lip around the edges so the juices from the chicken and tomatoes don’t make a mess. We chose to use an oven-safe skillet, mostly because it looks prettier for photos, but a sheet pan will work just as well! You can even line it with parchment paper to make clean up that much easier.
What would you serve with this chicken skillet dinner?
You can really pair this oven-baked chicken caprese with any roasted veggies, whatever you have on hand. We really enjoy it with asparagus and/or cauliflower rice. If you’re going to roast anything, you can also add the leftover artichoke hearts to your pan. We just threw them on a pan with some asparagus, avocado oil, sea salt and pepper and roasted for the last ten minutes the chicken was cooking. Super easy and tastes great with this chicken breast dinner.
What about the dairy – that’s not Paleo or Whole30?
You are correct. Dairy is neither Paleo nor Whole30 compliant. That said…it’s an easy fix that we note down in the recipe card. You can simply omit the cheese to make this healthy chicken caprese recipe both Paleo friendly and Whole30 compliant! And if you know you just have issues with cow’s milk dairy, then this is a great option for you. We used buffalo mozzarella, which you may tolerate better. So, take the option that works best for you and your body!
