Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.

Make the Lemon Marinade
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Season the Chicken
Place the chicken in a bowl or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over it. Toss to coat evenly.

Prepare the Vegetables
On the sheet pan, toss potatoes, carrots, and broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Assemble the Pan
Arrange vegetables evenly on the sheet pan and place the marinated chicken on top. Add lemon slices if desired.

Bake
Roast for 30–35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.

Serve
Garnish with fresh parsley and an extra squeeze of lemon before serving.

Cooking Tips

1. Use bone-in chicken for extra flavor
Bone-in, skin-on thighs stay juicy and develop crispy skin during roasting.

2. Cut vegetables evenly
Keeping vegetables similar in size ensures they cook at the same rate.

3. Don’t overcrowd the pan
Spread everything in a single layer so the vegetables roast instead of steam.

4. Add quick-cooking vegetables later
If using asparagus or green beans, add them halfway through cooking so they don’t overcook.

Variations

Mediterranean Style
Add cherry tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta cheese for a Mediterranean-inspired sheet pan dinner.

Honey Lemon Chicken
Mix 1 tablespoon honey into the marinade for a sweet citrus glaze.

Garlic Herb Version
Add fresh rosemary, thyme, or Italian seasoning for deeper herb flavor.

Spicy Lemon Chicken
Add ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne to the marinade for heat.

Low-Carb Option
Swap potatoes for zucchini, cauliflower, or Brussels sprouts.
