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
Warm your oven to 400°F and prepare a sheet pan by covering it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan set to medium-low heat, melt the butter while stirring continuously. Keep cooking until the butter bubbles and foams, then develops golden-amber specks and a nutty smell. Remove from heat promptly and transfer the butter to a bowl to prevent burning, then allow it to cool until warm.
Stir in the garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper into the cooled browned butter and adjust the seasoning as preferred.
Arrange the chicken and potatoes on the sheet pan and brush them with the brown butter mixture. Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes.
Take the pan out, stir the potatoes, flip the chicken, then add broccoli, asparagus, and rosemary. Brush everything with more brown butter mix.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the vegetables and potatoes are tender and the chicken reaches 165°F internally. Optionally, broil for 2 to 3 minutes to get the chicken golden and potatoes crispy.
Let the dish rest for 5 minutes after removing from the oven. Slice the chicken and serve while hot, garnishing with extra parsley if you like.
