Description
This Sheet Pan Garlic Butter Chicken and Veggies recipe is a simple, wholesome dish that brings savory flavors and vibrant colors to your dinner table.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds Chicken Breasts (Ensure they are patted dry for better seasoning adherence.)
- 1 tablespoon Garlic Powder (Adds depth of flavor; a little goes a long way!)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika (Introduces a subtle smokiness and vibrant color.)
- 1 teaspoon Salt (Enhances all other flavors in the dish.)
- 1/2 teaspoon Pepper (Use freshly ground for a kick of warmth.)
- 1 pound Baby Potatoes (Adds heartiness and texture; halving them ensures even cooking.)
- 2 cups Broccoli Florets (Provides a crunchy texture and vibrant color.)
- 1 bunch Asparagus (Offers a tender crunch; green beans or zucchini make great substitutes!)
- 1/2 cup Butter (Gives richness and depth; olive oil can be used for a dairy-free option.)
- 4 cloves Garlic (Freshly minced garlic is recommended for the best aroma.)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice (Brightens flavors and balances the richness.)
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning (Elevates the overall flavor; specific herbs like oregano or basil can be substituted.)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and freshly ground pepper.
- Prepare the garlic butter sauce by melting the butter in a bowl, then mixing in the minced garlic, lemon juice, and Italian seasoning.
- Halve the baby potatoes and toss them with a dash of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a lined sheet pan, then roast for 15 minutes.
- Add the seasoned chicken to the pan alongside the potatoes.
- Toss the broccoli florets and asparagus in half of the garlic butter sauce, then arrange them around the chicken on the pan.
- Roast everything together for another 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Drizzle the remaining garlic butter sauce over the entire dish in the last 5 minutes of roasting.
- For an extra crispy finish, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes.
