Step-by-Step Beginner-Friendly Instructions

1. Preheat & prep. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly drizzle olive oil over a large sheet pan.
2. Mix the vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, zest, vinegar, Dijon, salt, pepper, rosemary, and Herbs de Provence until smooth and glossy.
3. Prepare the veggies. Spread potatoes and carrots on the pan. Drizzle with a few tablespoons of vinaigrette and toss well. Roast for 15 minutes.
4. Add chicken. Remove pan, nestle chicken breasts among veggies, and arrange asparagus, tomatoes, and lemon slices around everything.
5. Finish roasting. Pour remaining vinaigrette evenly over the pan. Return to oven and roast 20 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F and vegetables are tender.
6. Garnish & serve. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, rosemary, and black pepper. Let rest 5 minutes before serving
