- Place the chicken breasts on top of the veggies. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in a mix of olive oil, garlic, and herbs before cooking. Don’t overcrowd the veggies on the sheet pan; this will help them roast evenly. Use fresh herbs like basil or parsley for garnishing, enhancing the flavor profile.
