1 ½poundsbaby potatoes,halve larger ones
1poundcarrots,peeled and chopped
1poundBrussels sprouts,ends trimmed and halved
1orange,and 1 lemon, sliced
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425˚F.
In a small bowl, mix the butter, 1 tablespoon olive oil, orange juice, zest, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder and oregano until well combined.
Place chicken skin-side up in the center of an extra-large, rimmed sheet pan.
Evenly slather the butter mixture all over the chicken.
Scatter the potatoes, carrots and Brussel sprouts around the chicken in a single layer.
Drizzle the vegetables with remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season to taste with kosher salt and black pepper. Place the orange and lemon slices around the pan.
Roast the chicken and vegetables uncovered in preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, stirring vegetables halfway through cooking time.
Chicken is done when an instant-read thermometer is close to 160˚F when inserted into thickest part of breast. Remember, the internal temp will rise another 5 degrees or so after it comes out of oven.
Let chicken rest 10 minutes before slicing.
Transfer chicken and vegetables to a large serving platter or serve straight from the sheet pan. Garnish with fresh herbs as desired. Enjoy!
Notes
*Chicken and vegetables can be prepped a day in advance. Allow chicken to sit at room temperature for 45-60 minutes before baking. This is also a great recipe for meal prepping!
