Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Rub with 2 tbsp olive oil, then season evenly with 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp unsalted butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  3. Step 3: Transfer skillet to a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Step 4: While chicken bakes, toss 1 cup chopped mixed vegetables (carrots, zucchini, bell peppers) with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
  5. Step 5: Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing, then serve with roasted vegetables.
