Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Add chicken breasts to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 2: Brush the chicken with vegetable oil and sprinkle on some Italian seasoning.
Top Tip
Use parchment paper for easy clean up! Leave the skin on the chicken breast while roasting for a flavorful and moist chicken breast. It can be removed after baking if desired.
Step 3: Toss the potatoes in vegetable oil and season with Italian seasoning and paprika.
Step 4: Add the potatoes to the sheet pan with the chicken breasts.
Step 5: Toss the carrots with vegetable oil and Italian seasoning. Set aside while the chicken and potatoes cook. Since the carrots will not take that long to cook, we're going to allow the chicken and potatoes to cook first.
Baking Instructions
Step 6: Bake the chicken and potatoes for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir the potatoes. Add the carrots to the other side of the chicken.
Step 7: Return to the oven and bake for 15 more minutes or until the chicken reaches 165°F. If the chicken, potatoes, and carrots haven't browned, broil for about 5 minutes. Keep a close eye on them so they don't burn!

Storage and Reheating Instructions
Refrigerate: Allow the chicken and vegetables to cool to room temperature before storing. Place the leftovers in airtight containers or resealable bags and store in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
Freezer: You can also freeze the leftovers by placing them in an airtight container. They can be frozen for up to 2-3 months.
Thaw and Reheat: Defrost in the refrigerator overnight. You can quickly reheat in the microwave until warmed through, or put the leftovers in the oven at 350°F and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until warmed through.
Top Tip
Once the chicken is done baking, let it rest a few minutes so all the juices don't run out when you cut into it. Allowing it to rest gives the juices time to redistribute resulting in a moist chicken breast.
