Healthy and easy side dishes for chicken include roasted and sautéed vegetables, creamy pastas, fluffy rice and quinoa, mashed potatoes, focaccia bread, and crisp salads. Side dishes can transform simple baked chicken into seasonal or occasion-appropriate meals. Many sides improve with time; quinoa, lentil, and couscous salads can be made one to two days ahead and work well for lunches. For parties, prep vegetables on the sheet pan and cover with foil until roasting. Doubling grains or pasta creates convenient leftovers for lunch when combined with chicken and fresh vegetables. Nearly half of the sides are naturally gluten-free, and most can be made vegetarian or vegan with simple swaps.
