Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 pound baby potatoes, halved
2 cups broccoli florets
3 medium carrots, sliced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 small red onion, cut into wedges
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 lemon, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. In a large bowl, toss the baby potatoes and carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil, half of the garlic, half of the Italian seasoning, and a little salt and pepper. Spread them on the sheet pan.
3. In the same bowl, coat the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon olive oil, fresh lemon juice, paprika, the remaining garlic, the remaining Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Place the chicken on the sheet pan.
4. Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, and red onion to the pan. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and toss lightly to coat.
5. Tuck the lemon slices around and over the chicken and vegetables.
6. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit internally and the vegetables are tender.
7. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes at the end if you want extra golden edges.
8. Let everything rest for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Cut the vegetables into similar sized pieces so they roast evenly and finish at the same time.
If your chicken breasts are very thick, pound them slightly so they cook through without drying out.
For even more flavor, let the chicken sit in the lemon seasoning for 15 to 20 minutes before roasting.
