Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1.5-inch pieces
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 zucchini, chopped into 1/2-inch half-moons
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces, broccoli florets, red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion.

  3. Step 3

    Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until well coated.

  4. Step 4

    Spread the chicken and vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there's enough space for everything to roast evenly without steaming. If your pan is overcrowded, use two baking sheets.

  5. Step 5

    Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the vegetables are tender-crisp and lightly caramelized. Toss halfway through cooking for even browning.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Tips

  • Customize your veggies! Feel free to swap in sweet potatoes, carrots, or Brussels sprouts. Adjust cooking times as needed.
  • For a little kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.
