This is a simple recipe that takes only minutes to prepare. Just toss chicken breast and vegetables in olive oil and some herbs, and bake them before serving. It’s a great weeknight recipe. You can pack the leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch on their own or with a bed of greens.

Variations and Tips

  • Use any vegetables you like. It’s best to cut them in pieces of a similar size so they bake evenly
  • If you are using frozen vegetables, add them to the baking pan about halfway through the cooking time so that they thaw and heat
  • You can use ½ cup of light Italian dressing or balsamic vinaigrette instead of olive oil, vinegar, and spices
  • For a very low-carb diet, you can eliminate the sweet potatoes or substitute cauliflower or eggplant
  • Try eliminating the sweet potatoes and serving your chicken with ½ cup of cooked brown rice or whole-grain pasta. Another option is to make a sandwich on whole-grain bread
  • This recipe also works for shrimp, fish, or lean ground turkey instead of chicken
  • For additional flavor, try adding 1-2 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese or blue or feta cheese crumbles to the vegetables at the end of cooking
