Ingredients

How to Make Lemon and Herb Chicken and Roasted Vegetables
Preheat the oven to 425°F. To make the marinade, combine 1/3 cup olive oil, lemon juice and zest, rosemary, thyme, ground mustard, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, 1.5 teaspoon pepper, and garlic in a small bowl. Put the chicken breasts and the marinade in a Ziploc bag and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
While the chicken is marinating, roughly chop the veggies. Toss the veggies in a tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder. Spread on a foil or parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chop the mini potatoes and coat evenly in a tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder and parmesan. Spread on 1/2 of a baking sheet lined with parchment. The other half will be for the chicken.
Place the vegetables and potatoes in the oven for 10 minutes. Add the chicken to the sheet pan with the potatoes and cook everything for another 20-30 minutes. The cook time will vary depending on how big your chicken breasts are. I like to check on them after about 20 minutes and add time as needed.
Substitutions
- You can swap out the chicken breasts for chicken thighs.
- I use mini gold potatoes, but red or fingerlings would be good, too.
- The vegetables I use change every time I make this recipe. Broccoli, asparagus, and bell peppers are good options, too!
- Fresh herbs is always ideal, but it’s totally fine to use dried herbs instead. Use what you have!
Tools You’ll Need
- Sheet pan – I use one for vegetables and one for potatoes and chicken
- Zester and Grater – I use a box grater because it’s all-in-one!
- Cutting Board – To chop and prep vegetables and potatoes
- Good Knives – Make sure they’re sharp and in good shape for safe chopping
