08 - Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges, if desired.

# Tips from hearthlykitchen:

01 -
  • You get that satisfying roasted potato crispiness without a mountain of oil or butter
  • The smoked paprika marinade makes plain chicken breast taste like something from a restaurant
  • Everything comes together on one sheet pan plus one quick pan sear, meaning minimal cleanup
02 -
  • Dont skip resting the chicken after grilling, otherwise those juices end up on your cutting board instead of in your bowl
  • If your chicken breasts are very thick, pound them slightly or slice them horizontally before marinating for even cooking
  • The parchment paper is not just for easy cleanup, it prevents the vegetables from sticking and burning where they touch the pan
03 -
  • Double the roasted vegetable batch and keep extras for breakfast hashes the next morning
  • If your grill pan lacks ridges, a cast iron skillet creates nearly the same beautiful sear marks
