Ingredients You’ll Need

You can adjust amounts to match how many people you feed, but this version serves 4.

Chicken

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Use thighs if you prefer richer flavor and extra juiciness.
  • Choose similar sizes so they cook evenly.

Chicken Marinade

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice (fresh tastes best, bottled works in a pinch)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder if you need a shortcut)
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for a little heat)

Veggies & Potatoes

• 1½ pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • Use Yukon gold or red potatoes; they roast crisp and creamy.
  • If you only have russets, cut them smaller so they cook through.
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into strips
• 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
• 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
• 1 cup broccoli florets (fresh or frozen, no need to thaw frozen)

• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary

Optional Finishing Touches

• Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
• Lemon wedges for serving
• Grated Parmesan or crumbled feta for a salty finish

Pantry Shortcuts & Substitutions

• Use a bottled Italian dressing instead of the marinade if you feel rushed.
• Use frozen veggie mix if you do not want to chop; just keep pieces similar in size.
• Use pre-minced garlic from a jar to save time.

Equipment List

• Grill or grill pan
• Large sheet pan or roasting pan
• Mixing bowl for marinade
• Large bowl for veggies and potatoes
• Tongs
• Instant-read thermometer
• Aluminum foil or parchment paper for easier cleanup

Tips & Tricks

• Pat the chicken dry before marinating so the marinade sticks better.
• Marinate the chicken at least 20 minutes; aim for 2 to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
• Cut potatoes smaller than the chicken thickness so they roast fully and crisp up.
• Keep veggie pieces similar in size so they cook at the same rate.
• Roast potatoes and firmer veggies on the sheet pan while the chicken grills.
• Toss veggies with oil and seasoning thoroughly so every piece gets coated.
• Use high heat on the grill to get nice grill marks without drying the chicken.
• Check chicken with a thermometer and pull it at 165°F in the thickest part.
• Let the chicken rest 5 to 10 minutes before slicing so the juices stay inside.
• Broil the veggies and potatoes for 2 to 3 minutes at the end if you want extra crisp edges.

How to Make Grilled Chicken with Roasted Veggies Potatoes

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

Add olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, and chili flakes to a bowl. Whisk until the marinade looks smooth and combined. Place the chicken in the bowl or a zip-top bag, coat it well, and chill it in the fridge while you prep the veggies.

Step 2: Prep the Veggies and Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 425°F. Add halved baby potatoes, bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, and broccoli to a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme or rosemary, and toss until everything looks evenly coated.

Step 3: Start Roasting the Potatoes and Veggies

Spread the veggies and potatoes on a large sheet pan in a single layer. Give the potatoes a little extra space so they crisp instead of steam. Place the pan in the oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes while you heat the grill.

Step 4: Preheat the Grill

Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Oil the grates lightly so the chicken does not stick. Take the chicken out of the marinade and let any extra drip off so it does not flare up on the grill.

Step 5: Grill the Chicken

Place the chicken on the hot grill. Cook about 5 to 7 minutes on the first side until you see nice grill marks and the edges turn opaque. Flip and cook another 5 to 7 minutes, then check the internal temperature and continue until it reaches 165°F.

Step 6: Finish Roasting the Veggies and Potatoes

While the chicken grills, stir the veggies and potatoes on the sheet pan so they brown evenly. Roast another 10 to 15 minutes until the potatoes feel tender when you pierce them with a fork and the edges look golden. Turn on the broiler for a couple of minutes if you want extra crispiness.

Step 7: Rest and Slice the Chicken

Transfer the grilled chicken to a plate or cutting board. Tent it loosely with foil and let it rest 5 to 10 minutes. Slice it against the grain into strips or serve the pieces whole.

Step 8: Plate and Garnish

Pile a generous scoop of roasted veggies and potatoes onto each plate. Add sliced grilled chicken on top or to the side. Sprinkle with fresh herbs, a squeeze of lemon, and a little Parmesan or feta if you like a cheesy finish.
