Instructions
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.
1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
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.
1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
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).
