Notes

  • Use boneless chicken for quicker cooking—reduce roast time to avoid drying out.
  • Swap in seasonal veggies like zucchini, bell peppers, or Brussels sprouts.
  • Add smoked paprika or balsamic vinegar for extra depth of flavor.
  • Pat chicken dry before roasting for crispier skin.
  • Prep chicken and veggies ahead of time, then roast fresh for best results.
