Description
This Garlic Butter Chicken and Vegetables recipe is a simple, flavorful dish perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into large cubes
- 1 cup baby carrots
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup baby potatoes, halved
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Optional: chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large sheet pan or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken cubes with half of the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Set aside to marinate briefly while you prep the veggies.
- In another bowl, combine baby carrots, broccoli florets, and halved baby potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Spread the seasoned vegetables out on the sheet pan. Nestle the marinated chicken pieces between the veggies, making sure everything is in a single layer for even cooking.
- Pour the remaining garlic butter mixture over the entire pan, ensuring every bite gets a touch of that golden, savory richness.
- Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temp of 165°F) and the vegetables are tender with crisped edges. If you want extra browning, broil for an additional 2–3 minutes at the end.
- Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top before serving, if desired. Serve hot, straight from the pan, with a side of warm bread or rice if you like.
