Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 2 cups baby carrots
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 yellow onion, cut into wedges
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature is ideal for roasting the chicken and vegetables until perfectly tender and slightly caramelized.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the baby potatoes, baby carrots, red bell pepper, zucchini, and onion. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables, add minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to evenly coat all the veggies with the seasoning and oil.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Rub them with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika for extra flavor and color.
- Spread the vegetables in a single layer across the bottom of your oven-safe skillet or baking dish. Nestle the chicken breasts on top of the vegetables, ensuring they aren’t overlapping for even cooking.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork. About halfway through cooking, stir the vegetables gently and baste the chicken with any pan juices to keep it moist.
- If you love a crispy, golden finish on your chicken skin and caramelized vegetable edges, switch the oven to broil for the last 3-5 minutes. Keep a close watch to avoid burning.
- Once cooked, remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the dish and add lemon wedges on the side for a bright, zesty touch. Serve hot, and enjoy your nutritious and flavorful one-pan meal.
