Description
A delightful and simple dish featuring succulent chicken pieces paired with vibrant roasted vegetables, all marinated in a zesty lemon herb blend.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast, boneless and skinless, cut into 1½ inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 lemons, zested and juiced
- 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 cup baby carrots, cut in halves
- 1½ cups baby golden potatoes, halved
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- ½ tablespoon minced garlic (for broccoli)
Instructions
- Prep the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry and chop them into 1½-inch chunks. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
- Combine the seasoning: In a small bowl, mix together the dried parsley, Italian seasoning, onion powder, paprika, seasoned salt, and black pepper.
- Marinate the chicken: Add half of the seasoning mix, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the chicken. Stir together and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Halve the carrots and potatoes, then toss them with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and seasoning. Spread onto one side of the pan and roast for 20 minutes.
- Chop the broccoli into florets.
- Finish the vegetables: After 20 minutes, stir the carrots and potatoes, then push them to one side. Add the broccoli, sprinkle with minced garlic, and drizzle with the last tablespoon of olive oil and remaining seasoning.
- Add the marinated chicken onto the pan, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Roast for another 15-20 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F and vegetables are tender. Broil on high for 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
