Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 1 lb chicken breast (boneless and skinless cut into 1 ½ inch pieces)
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided for marinating and roasting

For the Vegetables

  • 1 cup baby carrots (cut in halves)
  • 1-1/2 cups baby golden potatoes (halved)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic (for broccoli)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel, then cut into 1 ½-inch chunks and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  • In a small bowl, mix together parsley, Italian seasoning, onion powder, paprika, seasoned salt, and black pepper.
  • Add half of this blend to the chicken, along with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  • Stir everything well to coat the chicken evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to marinate.
  • Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  • Slice the baby carrots in half lengthwise and cut the baby Yukon gold potatoes in half (or quarters if they’re large).

Cooking

  • Add the carrots and potatoes to the baking sheet along with 2 more tablespoons of olive oil and most of the remaining seasoning mix (save about 1 teaspoon).
  • Toss until the vegetables are well coated, then roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
  • While that’s baking, chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets.
  • Once the 20 minutes are up, remove the baking sheet from the oven and give the carrots and potatoes a quick stir.
  • Move them to one side of the pan, add the broccoli on the other side, and a bit more minced garlic.
  • Drizzle with the last tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining seasoning. Toss to coat.
  • Take the marinated chicken out of the fridge, discard any excess marinade, and spread the chicken pieces across the pan so they aren’t overlapping.
  • Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the veggies are tender.
  • For extra color and slight charring, switch the oven to broil on high for the last 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
  • Remove from the oven and serve hot.

Notes

Serving this dish can be done by bringing the entire baking sheet to the table for an inviting presentation. Accompany it with a light salad or crusty bread. Consider adding a garlic herb yogurt sauce as a side.
