Ingredients
Scale
½ cup salted butter
4 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
½ teaspoon salt or to taste
½ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts about 2 medium sized pounded to even thickness if necessary
1 pound baby potatoes chopped into 1 inch chunks
1 head of broccoli separated into florets
½ pound asparagus hard woody ends trimmed
few sprigs of rosemary
Instructions
Set your oven to 400°F and prepare a sheet pan by lining it with parchment paper.
Melt the butter in a light-colored medium saucepan on medium-low, stirring constantly until it foams and crackles.
Continue cooking the butter until it forms golden-amber spots and smells nutty, then remove it from heat and pour into a bowl to cool slightly.
Stir in the garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper into the warm brown butter and mix well, adjusting seasoning as needed.
Arrange the chicken and chopped potatoes on the prepared sheet pan and coat them generously with the brown butter mixture.
Bake for 15 minutes at 400°F, then remove the pan, stir the potatoes and flip the chicken pieces.
Add the broccoli, asparagus, and rosemary to the pan, brush everything again with the brown butter.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the chicken reaches 165°F internally.
Optionally, broil the dish for 2 to 3 minutes to get a golden crust on the chicken and crisp up the potatoes.
Take the pan out, let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice the chicken and serve warm with a sprinkle of parsley if you like.
