Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, toss halved potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread on the sheet pan and roast for 15 minutes first to give them a head start.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, remaining olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Push potatoes to one side of the pan. Add chicken breasts and brush generously with garlic butter mixture.
- Add broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper to the pan. Drizzle with remaining garlic butter and toss lightly to coat.
- Roast for 20–25 minutes, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and potatoes are crispy and tender.
- Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes for extra golden edges.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and drizzle with lemon juice before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, broil the finished dish for 2–3 minutes.
- Prep ahead: chop vegetables and measure the butter mixture for quick weeknights.
- To meal prep, divide into four portions and refrigerate up to 4 days.
- Variations: swap in other vegetables like zucchini, cauliflower, or asparagus.
