Notes
📋 How to Make It
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Season Chicken with salt, pepper, and spices. Arrange on the prepared pan.
- Add vegetables around the protein. Drizzle everything with oil and toss to coat evenly.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the protein is cooked through and the edges are golden. Flip halfway if needed.
- Remove from oven, let rest for 2–3 minutes, then serve directly from the pan. Garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon.
