Sheet-Pan Chicken and Vegetables

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven:
    Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Prepare vegetables:
    In a large bowl, toss potatoes, carrots, and bell peppers with 2 tbsp olive oil, half the garlic powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread on the baking sheet.
  3. Prepare chicken:
    Rub chicken with remaining olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Place on the baking sheet among the vegetables.
  4. Bake:
    Roast for 35–40 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender.
  5. Optional broil:
    For extra crispy chicken skin, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
  6. Serve:
    Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

💡 Tips:

  • Cut vegetables into similar sizes to ensure even cooking.
  • You can swap in zucchini, broccoli, or Brussels sprouts based on your preference.
  • Leftovers reheat well and make a perfect next-day lunch.

If you want, I can also give you a 5-minute prep version with a honey-garlic glaze that makes the chicken extra flavorful and caramelized on the sheet pan.
