Ingredients

Units Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 3/4 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 cup tomatoes, diced
  • 1 1/2 cups bell peppers, chopped (use any color)

Chicken

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into pieces

Seasonings & Oil

  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a large baking sheet well to prevent sticking and ensure even roasting.
  2. Prepare the ingredients: Place the chopped zucchini, broccoli florets, onion, diced tomatoes, chopped bell peppers, and chicken pieces onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out evenly for consistent roasting.
  3. Season and toss: Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything together directly on the baking sheet to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
  4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, stirring halfway through for even cooking.

Notes

  • Cut your chicken and vegetables into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.
  • Use any mix of your favorite vegetables or whatever you have on hand.
  • Check the chicken for doneness by ensuring it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated for a quick meal.
