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
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 lemons (zested and juiced)
5 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
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
Pat the chicken breasts dry and cut them into 1½ inch chunks. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a smaller bowl, mix together the dried parsley, Italian seasoning, onion powder, paprika, seasoned salt, and pepper.
Add half of this seasoning mix, along with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the chicken. Coat evenly and cover. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Halve the baby carrots and golden potatoes. Add them to the baking sheet along with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and most of the remaining seasoning mix. Toss to coat and roast for 20 minutes.
Chop the broccoli into florets and set aside.
After 20 minutes, stir the veggies and move them to one side of the pan. On the other side, add the chopped broccoli and remaining garlic. Drizzle with the final tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining seasoning mix.
Remove excess marinade from the chicken and spread the pieces evenly across the pan.
Return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Optionally, broil for 1-2 minutes for extra color.
Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
For variations, consider adding bell peppers, zucchini, or asparagus for extra flavor and color.
