Tips:
- Use a flavorful cut of chicken: bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs will give your dish more flavor than boneless, skinless breasts.
- Marinate the chicken: marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to keep it moist and flavorful during baking.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature: this will help to create a crispy skin and juicy interior.
- Use a variety of vegetables: this will add color and flavor to your dish. Some good options include broccoli, zucchini, carrots, and potatoes.
- Season the vegetables: be sure to season the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting.
- Serve the chicken with a simple sauce: a simple sauce made with olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs is a great way to add flavor to your dish.
