Description

This bright and flavorful Lemon Herb Chicken with Roasted Vegetables is a one-pan spring and summer dinner that’s weeknight easy, meal-prep friendly, and bursting with seasonal freshness.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp honey (optional)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 cup baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 cup carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic, Dijon, honey, and herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Add chicken and coat well. Marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes or overnight.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  3. Toss potatoes and carrots with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Roast on sheet pan for 15 minutes.
  4. Scoot veggies to one side. Add marinated chicken and green beans to the other. Drizzle remaining marinade over all.
  5. Roast for 20–25 minutes until chicken is cooked through (165°F) and veggies are golden.
  6. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs and lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

Try chicken thighs for a juicier option. Zucchini, asparagus, or bell peppers work well in place of green beans. Add Parmesan or feta before serving for extra flavor.
