Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Vegetables

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced

Garnish & Extras

  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the chicken and vegetables evenly.
  2. Prepare Chicken: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Rub this seasoning mixture thoroughly over the chicken breasts to ensure full flavor penetration.
  3. Season Vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the sliced carrots, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper until everything is coated well.
  4. Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the center of a large baking dish. Arrange the tossed vegetables evenly around the chicken to allow for proper roasting.
  5. Roast: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the vegetables are tender.
  6. Serve: Remove the dish from the oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an added citrus zing.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is thoroughly cooked while avoiding overcooking.
  • You can swap or add other vegetables like potatoes or green beans based on preference.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after roasting for juicier results.
  • For a cream sauce variation, prepare a Dijon cream sauce separately and drizzle over before serving.
