CHEFIT: Sheet Pan Roasted Chicken and Veggies

This is it. The ultimate meal prep recipe to the rescue! This meal can be enjoyed as is or with your favorite whole grain. I personally love this with a little brown rice or quinoa. Leftovers can easily be added to any salad as well. Roasting vegetables is a great way to bring out flavors and all you need is a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. So simple! Marinating your chicken breast is the key to flavor development since it's a very lean protein. You can get your chicken marinating before you leave for work in the morning so that dinner is ready to put together as soon as you get home. Healthy and easy, you have to love that.
