Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (2-3 breasts)
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh black pepper
- Olive oil for drizzling
Vegetables
- 2 cups broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 large carrots, cut into bite-sized chunks
- Olive oil for drizzling
- Remaining seasoning mixture from chicken
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
- Prepare Seasoning Mix: Combine Italian seasoning, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a small dish; set aside.
- Slice Chicken: Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thinner pieces for quicker and more even cooking.
- Season Chicken: Arrange the sliced chicken pieces in the center of the baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over them and rub it into both sides. Sprinkle about two-thirds of the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken, rubbing it in gently.
- Arrange and Season Vegetables: Place the broccoli and carrot pieces on either side of the chicken on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, toss gently to coat, then sprinkle evenly with the remaining seasoning mixture.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through with no pink inside.
- Rest and Serve: Remove from oven and tent the chicken and vegetables loosely with foil. Let rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute before serving.
Notes
- This sheet pan dinner is great for an easy, healthy weeknight meal requiring minimal cleanup.
- You can swap broccoli and carrots for other hearty vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or green beans.
- Using boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced thin ensures even cooking and tenderness.
- Resting the chicken after baking helps retain its juiciness.
- You can adjust the Italian seasoning to your taste or add crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
