Description
Easy Sheet Pan Lemon Chicken and Veggies Dinner is a bright, easy weeknight meal made with juicy lemon chicken, roasted vegetables, garlic, and herbs all cooked on one pan for a simple, family-friendly dinner.
Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into large chunks
1 pound baby potatoes, halved
2 cups broccoli florets
2 medium carrots, sliced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 small red onion, cut into wedges
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 lemon, cut into wedges for serving
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Wash and prepare the potatoes, broccoli, carrots, bell pepper, and red onion so they are cut into even bite-sized pieces.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
4. Add the chicken and vegetables to the bowl and toss well until everything is evenly coated in the lemon seasoning mixture.
5. Spread the vegetables across the sheet pan and arrange the chicken pieces among them in a single layer.
6. Roast for 25 to 35 minutes, stirring the vegetables once halfway through, until the chicken reaches 165°F and the vegetables are tender and lightly browned.
7. Remove the pan from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
Cut the potatoes and carrots a little smaller than the softer vegetables so they finish cooking at the same time.
Do not overcrowd the pan or the chicken and vegetables will steam instead of roast.
For even more flavor, let the chicken sit in the lemon seasoning mixture for 15 to 20 minutes before roasting.
