Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 lb broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 lemons, sliced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F
  • In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper
  • Add chicken breasts, baby potatoes, broccoli, red bell pepper, and onion to the bowl. Toss to coat everything well
  • Arrange everything in a single layer on a large baking sheet
  • Place the lemon slices on top of the chicken and vegetables
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender

Notes

  • Use a large enough pan: Make sure to use a large baking sheet or roasting pan so that the chicken and vegetables have enough space to cook evenly without overcrowding.
  • Cut the vegetables into similar sizes: Cut the vegetables into similar sizes so that they cook evenly. This also helps ensure that they all finish cooking at the same time.
  • Use fresh lemon juice: For the best flavor, use fresh lemon juice instead of bottled juice.
  • Marinate the chicken: For even more flavor, marinate the chicken in the lemon garlic sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Add other seasonings: Feel free to add other seasonings to the dish, such as smoked paprika or cumin, to change up the flavor.
  • Use parchment paper or non-stick spray: To prevent sticking, line the baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Broil at the end: For a crispier skin on the chicken, broil it on high for the last few minutes of cooking.
  • Serve with a side: This dish is great on its own, but it's even better served with a side of rice, quinoa, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious lemon garlic sauce.
