Description

A comforting sheet pan dinner featuring tender lemon garlic chicken, hearty potatoes, and crisp broccoli, perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Juice and zest of 2 lemons
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 medium-sized potatoes, halved
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Mix the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper in a large bowl to create the marinade.
  3. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated in the marinade, and let them sit for at least 15 minutes.
  4. Combine the halved potatoes and broccoli florets on a large sheet pan, drizzle with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, and toss to coat.
  5. Move the veggies to the sides of the pan and place the marinated chicken in the center.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25–30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), and the potatoes are tender.
  7. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish and serve warm.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding fresh rosemary or thyme, or customize with other vegetables.
