Instructions
Let’s bring this dish to life with some simple steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, black pepper, and salt. This will be your flavorful marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
- Arrange the sliced bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots around the chicken on the baking sheet. Pour the remaining marinade over the veggies for that extra burst of flavor.
- Top everything with lemon slices, which will add a zesty brightness as they roast.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving and enjoy!
As my abuela always taught me, trust your senses — the aroma will tell you when it’s just right!
