Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • In a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder, 0.25 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  • Spread the seasoned chicken on one half of the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  • In the same bowl (no need to wash), toss the broccoli florets with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder, 0.25 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, remaining salt, and pepper.

  • Spread the seasoned broccoli on the other half of the baking sheet, ensuring all pieces have space and are not overly crowded.
  • Roast for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, carefully flip the chicken pieces, and gently toss the broccoli.
  • Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C) and the broccoli is tender-crisp and slightly charred.
  • Remove from oven, drizzle immediately with fresh lemon juice, and serve hot.

Notes

For extra crispy broccoli, you can toss it with a tiny bit of baking powder before adding oil (use only 1/4 tsp for the whole batch).
