Description
A delightful one-pan meal featuring tender chicken breasts and vibrant vegetables, infused with bright lemon and fragrant herbs.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast (boneless and skinless, cut into 1 ½ inch pieces)
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 lemons (zested and juiced)
- 5 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 1 cup baby carrots (cut in halves)
- 1-1/2 cups baby golden potatoes (halved)
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic (for broccoli)
Instructions
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and cut them into 1 ½-inch chunks. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- In a smaller bowl, combine parsley, Italian seasoning, onion powder, paprika, seasoned salt, and pepper.
- Add half of the seasoning blend to the chicken along with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir to coat the chicken evenly.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the chicken to marinate.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the baby carrots in half and cut the baby golden potatoes in halves (or quarters for larger potatoes).
- Add carrots and potatoes to the baking sheet with 2 more tablespoons of olive oil and most of the remaining seasoning mix. Toss to coat and roast for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets.
- After 20 minutes, stir the carrots and potatoes. Add the broccoli, a bit more minced garlic, and the last tablespoon of olive oil along with the remaining seasoning.
- Toss to coat, then spread the marinated chicken pieces across the pan without overlapping.
- Return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender.
- If desired, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes for extra color.
- Remove from the oven and serve hot. Enjoy!
