Savor this vibrant healthy easy roast, featuring tender chicken, crisp broccoli, and sweet bell pepper, all tossed with zesty lemon and herbs for a delicious one-pan meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, deseeded and roughly chopped
  • 1 lemon, half sliced, half juiced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken, broccoli florets, and chopped bell pepper. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with dried Italian herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Squeeze half of the lemon juice over the mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Spread the seasoned chicken and vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the lemon slices among the chicken and vegetables.
  4. Step 4: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C) and the vegetables are tender-crisp. You can gently stir halfway through cooking for even browning.
  5. Step 5: Remove from the oven. Serve immediately as a complete meal, or with a side of quinoa or brown rice if desired.

Notes

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days, making future healthy meals a breeze.
  • To enjoy your leftovers, gently reheat in the microwave or for a crispier bite, warm on a baking sheet in a 300°F oven until just heated through, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Enjoy this vibrant meal as a complete dish, or consider serving it alongside a light green salad with a simple vinaigrette, or over a bed of fluffy couscous for an added healthy carbohydrate.
  • For maximum flavor and perfectly crisp-tender vegetables, ensure your ingredients are spread in a single layer on the baking sheet. A final squeeze of fresh lemon juice after baking truly brightens every bite!
