Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp rosemary (chopped), 2 tbsp thyme (chopped), 1 tbsp parsley (chopped), 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to form a paste.
Step 2: Rub the herb paste evenly over 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each) and let sit for 10 minutes while preparing the vegetables.
Step 3: Arrange 2 medium carrots (peeled, cut 1 inch), 2 medium parsnips (peeled, cut 1 inch), and 1 medium sweet potato (peeled, cut 1 inch) on a baking sheet; drizzle with 1/4 cup chicken broth and toss to coat, then spread in a single layer.
Step 4: Place the herb-crusted chicken breasts on top of the vegetables, then roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internally and vegetables are tender and golden at the edges.
