Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- In a sealable bag, combine the marinade ingredients: olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, basil, oregano, onion powder, paprika, cumin, thyme, and sugar. Remove 2 tablespoons of the marinade to use for the veggies.
- Marinate the chicken in the remaining marinade for 20 minutes.
- Line a large sheet pan with foil and spray it with cooking spray.
- Add the quartered potatoes to the pan, drizzle with the reserved marinade, and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, push the potatoes to one side and add the broccoli florets on the other side.
- Place the marinated chicken on the remaining space on the sheet pan.
- Bake uncovered for 17-22 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 170-175°F.
- Meanwhile, prepare the Yogurt Parmesan Herb Sauce and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken longer if time permits. Check the internal temperature to ensure the chicken is cooked through.
