Sheet Pan Chicken & Vegetables with Orzo

A recipe that does double-duty! Using our delicious Massimo's chicken, you’re already ahead of the game for dinner. One sheet pan is all you need to roast the vegetables, then add the chicken at the end to heat. Serve with a side of orzo pasta to complete the meal! Save half of chicken and vegetables for lunch the next day and you’re all set.
