  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 3 cups baby potatoes halved
  • 2 cups broccoli florets

  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes, carrots, broccoli, and bell pepper with 2 tbsp olive oil, half the garlic powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  3. Drizzle the chicken with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and season with the rest of the spices, salt, and pepper.
  4. Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on the baking sheet. Nestle the chicken breasts among the veggies.
  5. Bake for 25–30 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender. For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2–3 minutes.
  6. Remove from oven and garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

Use an oven thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked safely.
Swap vegetables based on seasonality or preference (e.g., green beans, zucchini).
Broiling at the end crisps the chicken skin nicely but watch closely to avoid burning.
Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 2–3 days and reheat beautifully.
