Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs (900 g) chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1 lb (450 g) baby potatoes, halved
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, etc.)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning (or your favorite herb blend)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Optional: fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prep the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on the sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season with garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Add the Veggies: Arrange the baby potatoes and mixed vegetables around the chicken. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the veggies and toss gently to coat.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Optional Broil: For extra crispiness, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end of baking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- Rest and Serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- Customization: Swap chicken breasts for thighs for juicier meat or add seasonal veggies like zucchini, asparagus, or cherry tomatoes.
- Spice It Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat or drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving for extra flavor.
- Meal Prep Tip: Make extra portions for easy lunches throughout the week—just reheat in the microwave or oven.
