Ingredients
Scale
2 chicken breasts (bone-in, skin-on for best flavor)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
Salt & pepper to taste
1 lb baby potatoes, halved
1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp Italian seasoning
Salt & pepper
1 cup carrots, sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup cauliflower florets
Salted water or steam
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
1½ cups chicken broth
Salt, pepper, and a dash of soy sauce or Worcestershire (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Rub chicken with olive oil and seasoning mix. Toss potatoes with oil, herbs, salt, and pepper. Place both on a baking tray and roast for 35–40 minutes until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are golden.
Steam carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower until just tender (about 6–8 minutes). Season lightly with salt and set aside.
Melt butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour to form a roux. Slowly whisk in chicken broth. Simmer until thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and a splash of soy sauce for color.
Slice roasted chicken. Plate with roasted potatoes, steamed vegetables, and drizzle generously with gravy.
Notes
For best flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts.
Feel free to substitute vegetables based on your preference.
Gravy can be adjusted for thickness by varying the amount of broth.
