Ingredients
For the Chicken & Marinade
2 chicken breasts or 4 chicken thighs (boneless or bone-in)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional but adds depth)
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp thyme or rosemary
½ tsp paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Vegetables
2 medium potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1½ cups broccoli florets
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt, pepper, and a pinch of dried herbs (oregano, thyme, or basil)
Optional Garnish
Fresh parsley or dill, chopped
Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Marinate the Chicken
1. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and herbs.
2. Add chicken and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for 10–15 minutes (or longer for extra flavor).
3. Prepare the Vegetables
1. On the baking sheet, arrange the diced potatoes and sliced peppers.
2. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and herbs. Toss to coat.
4. Roast the Chicken & Potatoes
1. Add the marinated chicken to the same sheet pan (place it among the veggies).
2. Roast for 25 minutes, stirring potatoes halfway through for even browning.
5. Add Broccoli
1. After 25 minutes, add broccoli florets to the pan.
2. Toss lightly with the juices and continue roasting for 10–15 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked (165°F / 75°C internal temp) and the veggies are tender and golden.
6. Serve
1. Remove from oven and drizzle with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
2. Garnish with chopped parsley or dill and serve hot.
Notes & Tips
To keep it Mediterranean-friendly, use extra virgin olive oil and fresh herbs like oregano or thyme.
For extra crispness, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
You can add cherry tomatoes or red onions for a sweeter roasted flavor.
Works great as meal prep — stays fresh for up to 3 days in the fridge.
❓ frequently asked questions FAQs
Q: Can I use other vegetables?
Yes — zucchini, asparagus, or carrots all work great here.
Q: Can I use bone-in chicken thighs?
Absolutely. Just increase roasting time by 10–15 minutes and cover with foil if needed.
Q: Can I make it dairy-free?
It already is! But you can add a dollop of Greek yogurt or tzatziki on the side for creaminess.
