3. Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, parsley, paprika, and garlic powder.
- Dice potatoes into 3/4-inch pieces. Place in a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the olive oil mixture into the bag. Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Seal the bag and shake to evenly coat the potatoes in oil and seasonings.
- Transfer the potatoes to the sheet pan. Do not discard the zip-top bag.
- Roast the potatoes on middle rack of oven until they are just able to be pierced with a fork, but not soft, 10 minutes.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces. For vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower, cut into 1-inch florets. Slice carrots 1/4 inch thick. For zucchini and summer squash, slice 1/2 inch thick. Cut bell peppers or onions into 1 inch strips. Halve Brussels sprouts, etc. Place the vegetables in the zip-top bag. Drizzle 1 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil mixture into the bag. Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Seal the bag and shake to evenly coat the vegetables in oil and seasonings.
- Remove baking sheet from oven. Use a rubber spatula to push the potatoes to one side of the baking sheet. Transfer the vegetables to the opposite side of the sheet.
- Return the baking sheet to oven and roast the potatoes and vegetables on middle rack for 5 minutes. While vegetables roast, prepare the chicken.
- Place the chicken breasts in the zip-top bag. Drizzle the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of the olive oil mixture into the bag. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Seal the bag and shake to evenly coat the chicken in oil and seasonings.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Transfer the chicken breasts to the center of the baking sheet, arranging the potatoes and vegetables around the perimeter.
- Return the baking sheet to the middle rack of oven and roast for 12 minutes.
- Open the oven door. Using a rubber spatula, stir the potatoes and vegetables. Flip the chicken breasts. Continue roasting until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, the vegetables are tender, and the potatoes are browned and crisp, about 5 minutes.
- Check to see that dish is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
- Sprinkle chicken and vegetables with fresh parsley, if using, and serve. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days.
