Ingredients

  • 12 ounce broccoli, raw
  • 1 pound chicken thigh, skin removed before cooking
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 clove garlic
  • ½ lemon yields lemon juice raw
  • 1 tablespoon herbs fresh raw rosemary
  • 4 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat and oven to 360 degrees and spray a 9X13 sheet pan with pan spray. Chop the broccoli into 1-2 bite pieces and arrange them across the tray.
  2. Place the chicken thighs evenly spaced between the broccoli, as pictured. Do not unravel them. Sprinkle the salt and pepper evenly across the entire sheet pan.
  3. Peel and crush the 4 cloves of garlic, and arrange them in the pan. Slice ½ a large lemon into 4 quarters, and arrange them in the pan. Place 2-3 sprigs of rosemary in the pan as well.
  4. Drizzle the olive oil across all the ingredients. Make sure the higher edges of the broccoli and lemons get covered in olive oil. You can include more if necessary to cover the ingredients. Then, bake the tray for 60 minutes.
  5. You can serve straight from the sheet pan when done. Squeeze the roasted lemon over the chicken and broccoli for a more complex flavor profile!
