Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 3 carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let marinate while you prepare the vegetables.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes and sliced carrots with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 5
Spread the vegetables evenly on a large baking sheet. Place the marinated chicken breasts on top of the vegetables.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
