  • 2 cups Broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil

  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, rosemary, and thyme. Rub this mixture all over the chicken.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes, carrots, and onion with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Place the seasoned chicken in the center of a roasting pan. Arrange the seasoned potatoes, carrots, and onion around the chicken.
  5. Roast for 60 minutes.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven, add the broccoli florets to the pan, and toss them with the existing vegetables and pan juices.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
  8. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Notes

You can substitute other vegetables like sweet potatoes, bell peppers, or Brussels sprouts. Ensure all vegetables are cut into similar sizes for even cooking.
