A simple and wholesome one-pan meal featuring juicy chicken and roasted broccoli tossed in savory seasonings. Perfect for an easy and nutritious weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the chicken and broccoli.
  4. Add olive oil, garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes if using, then toss to coat evenly.
  5. Spread the mixture in a single layer on the sheet pan, ensuring it is not overcrowded.
  6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is tender and slightly crispy.
  7. For extra browning, broil for 2 to 3 minutes if desired.
  8. Remove from the oven, let rest briefly, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for a juicier result.
  • Add vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or zucchini for variety.
  • For an Asian-inspired twist, add soy sauce, ginger, and a drizzle of honey.
  • Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over broccoli in the last few minutes for extra flavor.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper roasting.
