Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
- 1 large head of broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Toss the broccoli florets in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, salt, pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes.
- Place chicken breasts on the sheet pan and brush both sides generously with the lemon garlic sauce. Spread broccoli around the chicken in a single layer, drizzle remaining sauce and toss to coat evenly.
- Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping broccoli halfway. Chicken is done at 165°F (74°C) internal temperature and no pink inside.
- Let chicken rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
