Ingredients
For the Garlic Herb Chicken:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs for extra juiciness)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried)
- ½ tsp rosemary, chopped
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
For the Roasted Vegetables:
- 1 cup baby potatoes, halved
- ½ cup carrots, chopped
- ½ cup zucchini, sliced
- ½ cup broccoli florets
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
1️⃣ Marinate & Roast the Chicken
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Rub this aromatic mixture all over the chicken breasts.
- Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased foil.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
2️⃣ Roast the Vegetables
- In a mixing bowl, toss the potatoes, carrots, zucchini, and broccoli with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Spread them out evenly on a separate baking sheet.
- Roast in the oven (alongside the chicken if space allows) for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until veggies are tender and golden.
3️⃣ Assemble & Serve
- Slice the roasted chicken and plate it with a generous helping of the roasted veggies.
- Garnish with fresh thyme or a squeeze of lemon for brightness, and enjoy every savory bite!
Tips & Tricks:
