Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups baby potatoes, halved
2 cups broccoli florets
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow onion, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- Arrange the chicken breasts in the center of the sheet pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, broccoli, bell pepper, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil, then toss with garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the vegetables around the chicken breasts on the sheet pan.
- Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir the vegetables halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
- Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, place the chicken and vegetables on a baking sheet and warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave individual servings for 1-2 minutes.
- Feel free to swap the vegetables in this recipe for any of your favorites, such as carrots, Brussels sprouts, or cauliflower. Just be sure to cut them into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.
- Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts. They may require a slightly longer cooking time, so check the internal temperature.
- If you’re cooking for fewer people, you can use a smaller sheet pan. Just avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper roasting.
