Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 lb baby red potatoes quartered
  • 1 large head of broccoli cut into florets
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 red onion cut into wedges
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 lemon zested and juiced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper or to taste

Equipment

  • 1 Large Baking Sheet
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed chicken, quartered potatoes, broccoli florets, chopped bell pepper, and red onion wedges. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables and toss until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F) and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
  6. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Tip 1: For extra crispy potatoes, you can give them a 10-minute head start in the oven before adding the rest of the ingredients.
Tip 2: Ensure your chicken pieces and potatoes are cut to the right size for even cooking. Potatoes should be smaller to cook through in time.
