- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Chicken
Vegetables - choose 3-4 of your fave's
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Toss the vegetables with 1½ tablespoons of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on the sheet pan.
- If using firmer vegetables like Brussels sprouts, carrots, or cauliflower, roast them for 10 minutes first.
- In a bowl, combine the remaining olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and coat well.
- Remove the pan from the oven (if pre-roasting vegetables) and nestle the chicken among the vegetables. Add quicker-cooking vegetables at this point, if using.
- Sprinkle Parmesan generously over the chicken and lightly over the vegetables.
- Return the pan to the oven and roast for 35–45 minutes, stirring vegetables once halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- For extra colour and crisp edges, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
- Remove from the oven and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon and herbs, if using.
