Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts trimmed
  • 1 large head broccoli cut into florets (about 4 cups)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup optional, for a touch of balance
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with foil for easier cleanup.
  2. Whisk 2 tbsp oil, garlic, lemon zest and juice, oregano, paprika, salt, pepper, and honey in a bowl.
  3. Toss chicken with half the marinade; let sit 10 minutes if you have time.
  4. Toss broccoli with remaining 1 tbsp oil and a pinch of salt.
  5. Arrange chicken and broccoli on the sheet pan in a single layer.
  6. Roast 18–22 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F and broccoli is tender with browned edges.
  7. Broil 1–2 minutes if you want extra crisping. Rest chicken 5 minutes, then serve with lemon wedges.
