Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breast, boneless
  • 1 medium sweet potato cubed
  • 1 head broccoli cut into florets
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • ½ medium onion sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp thyme dried
  • 1 tsp oregano dried
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 1/2 lemon juiced, plus 2-4 lemon slices

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
    2 chicken
  • Arrange sweet potato, broccoli florets, red bell pepper, onion, and chicken breasts on a large sheet pan lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
    1 medium sweet potato, 1 head broccoli, 1 red bell pepper, ½ medium onion
  • Drizzle the chicken and veggies with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together to coat the vegetables evenly.
    2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp thyme, 1 tsp oregano, ¼ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper
  • Squeeze lemon juice on top of the chicken breasts and vegetables. Arrange lemon slices over the chicken.
    1/2 lemon
  • Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Serve the lemon chicken alongside the roasted vegetables.

Cooking Tips

  • Even cooking: Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure they cook at the same rate. Smaller pieces will cook faster, which is ideal for matching the cooking time of the chicken.
  • Sheet pan spacing: Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure the vegetables roast nicely instead of steaming. Use two pans if necessary.
  • Internal temperature check: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken has reached the safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to avoid any foodborne illness.
