Description
Enjoy a wholesome and flavorful garlic butter chicken and roasted veggies sheet pan dinner, a simple healthy one-pan meal with juicy chicken, golden vegetables, and rich garlic butter goodness.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian herbs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried parsley or fresh chopped parsley
2 cups baby potatoes, halved
1 cup carrots, sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 small zucchini, sliced
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
Fresh parsley, for garnish
Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Add the potatoes, carrots, broccoli, bell pepper, and zucchini to a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss well.
3. Spread the vegetables on the sheet pan in a single layer so they roast evenly.
4. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season it with salt, pepper, paprika, and dried thyme or Italian herbs.
5. Place the seasoned chicken on the sheet pan among the vegetables.
6. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and parsley.
7. Brush or spoon the garlic butter mixture over the chicken and lightly over the vegetables.
8. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring the vegetables halfway through cooking.
9. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes at the end if you want extra color.
10. Let the pan rest for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
Chicken thighs stay juicier, but chicken breasts work well too.
Cut the vegetables into similar sizes for even roasting.
Swap in sweet potatoes, asparagus, or green beans when needed.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for meal prep.
Reduce the butter slightly and add more olive oil for a lighter version.
