How Easy Sheet Pan Garlic Butter Chicken is Made
Step 1 — Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2 — Season Everything
Place the chicken breasts in the center of the sheet pan. Add the potatoes, broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper around them. Drizzle everything with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Step 3 — Mix the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, garlic, Italian seasoning, lemon juice, and smoked paprika. Brush half over the chicken and drizzle the rest over the veggies.
Step 4 — Roast to Perfection
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F and the veggies are tender with golden edges.
Step 5 — Serve Warm and Cozy
Sprinkle parsley on top, squeeze extra lemon if you want brightness, and serve straight from the pan.
