Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs (680g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1.5 lbs (680g) mixed vegetables (e.g., broccoli florets, bell peppers cut into 1-inch pieces, chopped zucchini, quartered red onion)
• 2 tbsp (30ml) olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp (15g) dried Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp (2.5g) salt
• 1/4 tsp (1.25g) black pepper
• 2 tbsp (30ml) fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
• Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the herb coating.
3. Add the cut chicken pieces and mixed vegetables to the bowl. Toss until everything is evenly coated with the garlic herb mixture.
4. Spread the chicken and vegetables in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Ensure not to overcrowd the pan for even cooking; use two pans if necessary to prevent steaming.
5. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C) and the vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly caramelized. Flip the contents halfway through for more even browning.
6. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges, if desired.
7. Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
