Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix well until fragrant.
  2. Step 2: Add 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, 12 oz baby carrots, and 1 lb halved baby potatoes to the bowl. Toss everything thoroughly so the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated with the garlic-Parmesan mixture.
  3. Step 3: Arrange the chicken breasts on a large rimmed baking sheet and surround them evenly with the carrots and potatoes. Spread everything out in a single layer for even roasting.
  4. Step 4: Roast in the preheated 400°F oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the potatoes and carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. The chicken will be juicy and savory with crispy Parmesan edges, complemented by sweet roasted carrots and golden potatoes.
