Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Vegetables
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Garnish (Optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare the Chicken Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, everything bagel seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a flavorful rub for the chicken.
- Season the Chicken: Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of each chicken breast, ensuring each piece is well coated for maximum flavor.
- Prepare the Vegetables: In a separate bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes, sliced bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion wedges with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper until everything is evenly coated.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Spread the vegetables evenly around the chicken in a single layer to allow for even roasting.
- Bake: Roast everything in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender and golden brown.
- Rest and Garnish: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes to retain juices. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired before serving warm.
Notes
- For extra crispiness on the chicken and vegetables, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end of the baking time, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- You can substitute seasonal vegetables such as carrots, squash, or Brussels sprouts based on availability or preference.
- This recipe is ideal for meal prep as it reheats well and maintains flavor and texture.
- Use gluten-free everything bagel seasoning to keep the dish gluten-free.
