Savor a healthy, flavorful dish featuring tender lemon herb-infused chicken breast paired with a medley of roasted root vegetables.

INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (Skinless)
1 medium Carrot
1 small Parsnip
1 cup cubed Sweet Potato
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (juiced & zested)
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Rosemary & Thyme)
1 clove Garlic, minced
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the juice and zest of 1/2 lemon, olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the chicken breast on one side of the baking sheet and brush generously with the lemon herb mixture.
Chop the carrot, parsnip, and sweet potato into uniform bite-sized pieces. Toss the vegetables with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Arrange the vegetables on the other side of the baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, turning the vegetables halfway through and checking the chicken for doneness. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
For extra crispiness, broil the chicken and vegetables for an additional 2-3 minutes if desired.
Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, then serve warm.
