Ingredients

For the chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 tsp lemon zest

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

½ cup heavy cream

Salt and pepper to taste

For the roasted vegetables

2 cups baby potatoes, halved

1 cup carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 cup broccoli florets

2 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp paprika

Directions

Prepare the vegetables

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large mixing bowl, toss the baby potatoes, carrots, and broccoli with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.

Prepare the chicken

While the vegetables roast, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until golden and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Make the creamy lemon sauce

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add fresh lemon juice, zest, and thyme. Stir in the heavy cream and let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens.

Combine

Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon some of the creamy lemon sauce over the chicken, and let it simmer for another 3-5 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Serve

Plate the chicken alongside the roasted vegetables and drizzle the creamy lemon sauce over the top. Serve immediately.
