Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs (680g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 head (approx. 400g) broccoli, cut into florets
• 2 bell peppers (any color, e.g., 1 red, 1 yellow), deseeded and cut into 1-inch strips
• 1 red onion, cut into 8 wedges
• 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 0.5 tsp dried rosemary
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces, broccoli florets, bell pepper strips, and red onion wedges.
3. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and vegetables. Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
4. Toss everything together thoroughly until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
5. Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure not to overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary for even cooking and browning.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F/74°C) and the vegetables are tender-crisp and lightly browned.
7. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of quinoa or brown rice, or a simple green salad.
