Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
2 cups broccoli florets
2 cups baby potatoes, halved
1 cup carrots, sliced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 zucchini, sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Optional: lemon wedges & fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
Prep veggies: Place all vegetables on the sheet pan. Drizzle with half the olive oil and toss with half the seasoning.
Season chicken: In a bowl, mix remaining oil, garlic, and spices. Coat the chicken evenly.
Arrange: Place chicken on the pan among the vegetables.
Roast: Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally and veggies are tender.
Optional finish: Broil for 2–3 minutes for a golden, slightly crispy finish.
Serve: Garnish with lemon juice and parsley if desired.
Notes
Cooking Tips
- Cut evenly: Keep vegetables similar in size so they cook evenly.
- Don’t overcrowd: Spread everything out to ensure roasting (not steaming).
- Use thighs for juiciness: Chicken thighs stay more tender and flavorful.
- Pre-roast potatoes: If using large or dense potatoes, roast them for 10 minutes before adding chicken.
- High heat is key: 400°F helps caramelize veggies and lock in flavor.
Variations
- Low-carb version: Swap potatoes for cauliflower or green beans.
- Spicy kick: Add chili flakes or cayenne pepper.
- Mediterranean style: Use oregano, lemon, and add olives & feta after baking.
- Honey garlic glaze: Brush chicken with a mix of honey + garlic + soy sauce before baking.
- BBQ twist: Use your favorite BBQ seasoning or sauce.
