Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)

Vegetables

  • 4 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, and broccoli), chopped

Seasoning & Oil

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting the chicken and vegetables evenly.
  2. Prepare the ingredients: Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts. Chop the mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
  3. Toss with oil and seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts and mixed vegetables. Drizzle olive oil over everything, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
  4. Arrange on sheet pan: Spread the chicken and vegetables in a single layer on a large sheet pan, making sure not to overcrowd so they roast properly instead of steam.
  5. Roast in the oven: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C) and the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.
  6. Serve warm: Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, then serve the chicken and roasted vegetables warm for a hearty, healthy dinner.

Notes

  • You can use any combination of your favorite vegetables as long as they roast well, such as cherry tomatoes, asparagus, or sweet potatoes.
  • For extra flavor, add garlic powder, paprika, or fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme before roasting.
  • If you prefer crispier vegetables, spread them out more or roast separately.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
