Ingredients

Scale

1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces

4 cups fresh broccoli florets (from about 1 large head)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

optional: lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 F (200 C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Place the chicken in a large bowl.

3. Add the broccoli florets to the same bowl as the chicken. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and broccoli. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together thoroughly until the chicken and broccoli are evenly coated with the oil and spices.

4. Spread the seasoned chicken and broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan; use two baking sheets if necessary.

5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (reaching an internal temperature of 165 F / 74 C) and the broccoli is tender-crisp and slightly charred at the edges. You can flip the chicken and broccoli halfway through cooking for more even browning.

6. Serve hot, perhaps with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the top for a bright finish.
