Ingredients
  

Protein
  • 1 lb chicken breast cubed
Vegetables
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup baby potatoes halved
  • 1/2 cup carrots sliced
Seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet.
  2. Toss chicken and vegetables in a bowl with oil and seasoning.
  3. Spread mixture evenly on the pan for even cooking.
  4. Bake until chicken cooks through and vegetables turn tender.
  5. Broil briefly for a slightly crispy finish if desired.
  6. Serve warm with balanced textures and rich flavor.

Notes

For softer texture, reduce cooking time slightly; for crispier edges, broil longer. Freeze portions after cooking for quick meals. Avoid overcrowding the pan for even roasting. Customize flavors with herbs or sauces. Store leftovers in airtight containers and reheat gently to maintain texture.
