Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 1/2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for chicken)
Vegetables
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup baby carrots, halved lengthwise
- 1 small red onion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for veggies)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional Garnish
- Lemon wedges
- Fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Prepare chicken: Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then generously coat both sides with the everything bagel seasoning to infuse bold flavor.
- Toss vegetables: In a bowl, combine the broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, halved baby carrots, and sliced red onion. Toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Arrange on sheet pan: Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly around the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet to allow even cooking and roasting.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. Flip the vegetables halfway through cooking to ensure they become tender and lightly caramelized. Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender.
- Rest and serve: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to maintain juiciness. Slice the chicken and serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
- Substitute other vegetables such as zucchini, asparagus, or Brussels sprouts based on availability and preference.
- For a juicier meat option, use chicken thighs instead of breasts.
- Adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving can enhance the flavor with a sweet and tangy note.
