Ingredients
- 1.5 pound chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
- 1.5 pound yellow potatoes (peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 1 pound carrots (peeled, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds)
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, toss the 1 1/2 pounds of yellow potatoes and 1 pound of carrots with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
- In the same bowl, toss the 1 1/2 pounds of chicken breast with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Arrange the chicken breast on the baking sheet alongside the vegetables, ensuring everything is in a single layer. Pour the 1/2 cup of chicken broth onto the baking sheet.
- Roast for 25-35 minutes, or until the chicken breast is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the vegetables are tender.
- Carefully stir the vegetables and chicken halfway through cooking for even browning.
- Serve immediately, ensuring the chicken and vegetables are well-cooked for easier digestion.
