Ingredients Needed

  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 pound small red or Yukon gold potatoes, quartered
  • 1 large broccoli crown, cut into florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon, half juiced, half cut into wedges for serving

Step By Step Making

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  3. Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes.
  4. While the potatoes are roasting, in the same bowl (no need to wash!), combine the chicken pieces, broccoli florets, bell peppers, and red onion wedges.
  5. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the chicken and veggies. Sprinkle with oregano, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything to coat evenly.
  6. After the potatoes have roasted for 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven.
  7. Add the seasoned chicken and vegetable mixture to the baking sheet, spreading it out into a single layer alongside the potatoes.
  8. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
  9. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the entire sheet pan.
  10. Serve hot, with lemon wedges on the side for extra brightness. Enjoy this easy meal!
