Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat 4 chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then season both sides with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: In a shallow dish, mix 2 tbsp all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup chopped parsley, 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, 1 tbsp minced rosemary, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder.
  3. Step 3: Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crust.
  4. Step 4: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken breasts and cook for 3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  5. Step 5: Add 1 cup baby carrots, 1 cup asparagus, and 1 cup zucchini to the skillet around the chicken. Pour 1/2 cup chicken broth into the skillet, cover with a lid or foil, and transfer to the oven.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 20-25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internally and vegetables are tender.
