# What You'll Need:

→ Proteins

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, approximately 1.5 pounds

→ Vegetables

02 - 2 cups broccoli florets
03 - 2 cups bell peppers, mixed colors, sliced

# How to Cook:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
02 - In a large bowl, combine broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, and red onion wedges. Drizzle with half of the olive oil and sprinkle with half of the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
03 - Place chicken breasts on the prepared sheet pan. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and season with remaining herbs, salt, and pepper.
04 - Distribute seasoned vegetables evenly around the chicken in a single layer on the sheet pan.
05 - Roast for 23 to 25 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and vegetables are tender with light caramelization.
06 - Allow the pan to rest for 2 to 3 minutes. Slice chicken if desired and serve with roasted vegetables.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Literally one pan means one pan to wash, and that alone feels like a small victory after a long day.
  • The chicken stays juicy while the vegetables get these little caramelized edges that taste like actual flavor, not obligation.
  • You can have dinner on the table in 35 minutes total, no stress, no complicated timing.
02 -
  • Pat your chicken dry before seasoning it; moisture is the enemy of golden skin and even cooking, and I've learned this lesson more times than I care to admit.
  • Every oven has hot spots, so if you notice vegetables browning faster on one side halfway through, rotate the pan or shuffle things around slightly.
03 -
  • Don't skip the resting time; those few minutes let everything settle and taste more like itself instead of rushed.
  • If you're cooking for picky eaters, roast the vegetables separately for a few minutes before adding the chicken so they finish exactly how they like them without compromise.
