Why This is a Weeknight Favorite:
One Pan: Only one baking sheet to wash!
Healthy: Packed with protein and fresh, colorful vegetables.
Quick Prep: Takes less than 15 minutes to get into the oven.
Ingredients:
1.5 lbs Chicken thighs or breasts (chopped into bite-sized pieces)
2 Bell peppers (any color, sliced)
1 Zucchini (sliced into rounds)
1 Red onion (cut into wedges)
3 tbsp Olive oil
Seasoning: 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to taste.
Optional: Fresh lemon juice for a zesty finish.
Instructions:
1. Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Season Everything: Place the chicken and all the vegetables on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle all the seasonings. Use your hands (or tongs) to toss everything together until evenly coated.
3. Roast to Perfection: Spread the mixture in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
4. Serve and Enjoy: Squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the top before serving. Serve it as is, or with a side of rice or quinoa.
Kitchen by Mom Pro-Tip:
Make sure not to overcrowd the pan! If the ingredients are too crowded, they will steam instead of roast. Use two pans if needed for that perfect golden crunch.
Happy Cooking!
