This simple, one-pan dish brings together juicy, marinated chicken with fresh veggies, all roasted to perfection with a zesty lemon-garlic flavor. It’s a healthy, easy-to-make dinner that’s also quick to clean up!
Ingredients
- Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work well.
- Vegetables: Choose a variety like broccoli, carrots, zucchini, or bell peppers.
- Marinade: Mix lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional herbs like rosemary or thyme for added flavor.
Instructions
- Prep the Chicken and Marinade
- Combine lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and seasonings. Marinate the chicken for at least 15-20 minutes (or longer if you have time).
- Prepare Vegetables
- Chop your veggies into bite-sized pieces, toss with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange and Roast
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the marinated chicken and veggies on a sheet pan in a single layer.
- Roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender.
- Serve and Enjoy
- Garnish with fresh herbs or a little extra lemon zest if you like.
Tips
- For even cooking, slice chicken breasts evenly or use boneless, skinless thighs.
- Try adding potatoes or brussels sprouts for a heartier version.
