  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper ¼ teaspoon pepper

Method
 

  1. 1. Marinate the chicken in a ziplock bag for 20 minutes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, grated garlic, dried oregano, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Massage to coat evenly.
  2. 2. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Chop the potatoes, zucchini, and carrots to roughly uniform sizes.
  3. 3. Season the potatoes, zucchini, and carrots on the baking sheet with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper, tossing to coat. Arrange them in a single layer, leaving room for the chicken breasts. Place the marinated chicken in the centre of the pan. Do not add the cherry tomatoes yet.
  4. 4. Roast the chicken and veggies for 35 to 40 minutes. After 25 minutes, add the cherry tomatoes to the pan. Continue cooking until the potatoes are soft and the veggies are golden brown and tender, and the chicken's internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Notes

1. For crispier vegetables, ensure not to overcrowd the sheet pan; use two if necessary.
2. Always use an instant-read meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to a safe 165°F (74°C) internal temperature, preventing dryness.
3. Feel free to customise the vegetables based on seasonal availability or personal preference, adjusting cooking times accordingly for denser or quicker-cooking options.
