Ingredients Needed

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
• 1 pound small red potatoes, quartered
• 1 pound broccoli florets
• 1 red onion, cut into wedges
• 1 lemon, half juiced, half sliced
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Step By Step Making

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, toss the quartered red potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, half of the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on one side of a large baking sheet.
3. Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes.
4. While the potatoes are roasting, in the same bowl (no need to wash!), toss the broccoli florets and red onion wedges with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the rest of the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
5. In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat.
6. After the potatoes have roasted for 15 minutes, add the seasoned broccoli and red onion to the other side of the baking sheet. Place the lemon-coated chicken pieces among the vegetables. Arrange the lemon slices over the chicken.
7. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the vegetables are tender and slightly browned.
8. Serve hot directly from the sheet pan.
