Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning.
Place the chicken breasts into a resealable plastic bag or shallow baking dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes, or even up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
Preheat the Oven: When you’re ready to bake, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Vegetables: In a large bowl or directly on a sheet pan, toss the cubed potatoes, broccoli, and carrots with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning.
Bake the Vegetables: Place the pan in the oven and bake the veggies for 20 minutes.
Add the Chicken: After 20 minutes, take the sheet pan out of the oven and add the marinated chicken. Discard any leftover marinade.
Final Bake: Return the pan to the oven and continue baking for another 20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Serve: Let everything cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a quick cleanup, line your sheet pan with parchment paper before assembling the ingredients. If looking for crunch, add a sprinkle of breadcrumbs over the chicken before baking.
