Easy Chicken Dinner Ideas Healthy
- Cook Time: 40 minutes
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Diet: Low-carb
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 lemon, halved
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven heats up, chop your chicken breasts into even 1-inch cubes. This ensures they cook quickly and uniformly. Toss the chicken pieces in a large mixing bowl with the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the broccoli and sliced bell peppers to the bowl and toss again until everything is lightly coated in the oil and spices.
- Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture in a single layer onto a large rimmed baking sheet. Ensure the pieces are not overcrowded so they roast instead of steaming. Place the sheet in the center rack of the oven. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes. At the halfway mark, use a spatula to toss the ingredients for even browning. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the hot chicken and vegetables to brighten the flavors. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately on its own for a low-carb meal, or pair it with a side of quinoa or brown rice for a more filling dinner. Use the remaining lemon wedges for extra zest at the table.
