Tender roasted chicken and colorful vegetables come together on a single pan with simple seasoning for a fresh, satisfying dinner that practically makes itself. Toss everything together in a few minutes, let the oven do the work, and serve it with rice, salad, or wraps for an easy meal the whole family will love.
Preheat the oven to 400 °F. Lightly grease a large rimmed sheet pan or line it with parchment paper.
Toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Spread it onto the sheet pan.
Toss the vegetables in the same bowl with the remaining olive oil and salt. Add them to the sheet pan with the chicken.
Arrange the chicken and vegetables in a single layer so they roast instead of steam.
Bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chicken reaches 165 °F and the vegetables are tender. Add lemon zest, lemon slices, or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
Notes
Cut the chicken and vegetables into similar-sized pieces so they cook at the same pace. Serve: Pair with rice, quinoa, mashed potatoes, or a fresh seasonal salad.Store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month, though zucchini may soften after thawing. Thaw frozen portions overnight in the fridge and reheat on a greased baking sheet at 350 F until warmed through.
