Ingredients
  

For the Chicken and Marinade
  • 1 lb chicken breast (boneless and skinless, cut into 1 ½ inch pieces) For extra juiciness, opt for chicken thighs.
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 lemons (zest and juice) Fresh lemons give the brightest flavor.
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil (divided) Extra virgin olive oil adds fruity depth.
For the Vegetables
  • 1 cup baby carrots (cut in halves)
  • 1.5 cups baby golden potatoes (halved) Small golden potatoes roast quickly.
  • 1 cup broccoli florets Add it later to keep florets crisp tender.
  • 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic (for broccoli)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the chicken dry and cut into chunks.
  2. Mix parsley, Italian seasoning, onion powder, paprika, seasoned salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  3. Add half of the spice mix, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, and juice to the chicken and marinate for 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cooking
  1. Prepare carrots and potatoes, coat with olive oil and remaining spice mix, and roast for 20 minutes.
  2. Chop the broccoli and add it to the baking sheet with garlic after 20 minutes, drizzle with oil, and add marinated chicken.
  3. Roast for another 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked through (165°F) and veggies are tender.
  4. Serve hot.

Notes

Patting the chicken dry ensures a good sear. Let the chicken rest after roasting for juiciness. Use a thermometer to check doneness.
