An easy weeknight dinner featuring juicy lemon garlic chicken roasted with tender potatoes and crisp broccoli, all on one sheet pan.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts), about 1.5 lb total
  • 1.5 lb baby potatoes, halved (or cut into 1-inch chunks)
  • 1 large head broccoli, cut into florets (about 4 cups)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • Zest of 1 lemon + 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional for depth)
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional for balance)
  • 1.5 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (or sweet paprika)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh parsley or extra lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Make the marinade: In a bowl, mix lemon zest, lemon juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, garlic, Dijon, honey, oregano, paprika, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  3. Pat the chicken dry. Add it to half the marinade and toss to coat. Let it sit while you prep the veggies (5–15 minutes is fine).
  4. Toss potatoes with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper, and 1–2 tbsp of the leftover marinade (not the portion that touched raw chicken).
  5. Spread potatoes on the sheet pan. Roast for 10 minutes to jump-start cooking. Meanwhile, toss broccoli with any remaining clean marinade, or just a little oil, salt, and pepper.
  6. Pull the pan out. Add the marinated chicken and the broccoli around the potatoes. Return to the oven and roast 18–22 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and potatoes are tender. For extra color, broil 2–3 minutes at the end.
  7. Rest 3–5 minutes. Squeeze a little fresh lemon over everything, sprinkle with parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

For richer flavor, marinate chicken up to 8 hours in the fridge. Leftovers can be stored for up to 4 days.
