Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • - 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • - 2 cups of mixed vegetables e.g., bell peppers, zucchini, and carrots
  • - 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • - 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • - 1 teaspoon paprika
  • - Salt and pepper to taste
  • - Fresh parsley for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated in the seasonings.
  • Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. In the same bowl, add the mixed vegetables and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired. Toss to coat.
  • Spread the vegetables around the chicken on the baking sheet, ensuring even spacing for proper roasting.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). The vegetables should be tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing the chicken. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
  • For best results, make sure not to overcrowd the pan with vegetables, as this can lead to steaming rather than roasting.
  • Additionally, feel free to experiment with different spices and herbs to suit your palate.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, making this recipe a great meal prep option!
