Notes

Tips: For more flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. Mix and match different vegetables based on what you have. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; give the chicken and vegetables space to roast properly. Broil for the last few minutes if you prefer crispy chicken. Store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.
