This is one of those meals you’ll come back to again and again: simple, nourishing, and incredibly easy to pull together. Everything cooks on one pan, which means minimal cleanup and maximum flavor.

The potatoes get a head start in the oven so they turn perfectly golden and crispy, while the seasoned chicken and veggies roast up tender and caramelized. It’s the kind of balanced, colorful meal that feels both comforting and fresh.

Finish it off with a squeeze of lime and your favorite toppings (think creamy avocado, salty cotija, and a quick yogurt drizzle), and you’ve got a dinner that feels elevated but takes very little effort. Perfect for busy weeknights, meal prep, or feeding the whole family.
