Ingredients
- 1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 lb (450 g) baby potatoes, halved
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 medium red onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, optional
- Fresh parsley, for serving, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Season the potatoes: Place the potatoes on the pan. Toss with half of the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Start baking: Spread the potatoes in an even layer and bake for 15 minutes.

Recipe Tips
- Cut the potatoes into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan or the vegetables may steam instead of roast.
- Swap broccoli for zucchini, green beans, or cauliflower.
- Add cherry tomatoes for extra color and flavor.
- Use chicken thighs if you prefer darker, juicier meat.
- Serve with a simple Greek yogurt sauce for extra creaminess and protein.
