Tasty Tuesday

This recipe is simple and you just throw it all in a pan and wait for it to cook. Minimal effort and maximum taste! Some ideas for veggies would be broccoli, peppers of all colors (I'm fond of red, they're sweeter), onion, carrots, cauliflower, zucchini, cherry or grape tomatoes, or another veggie you think would go well with this dish.  The sky's the limit! If you aren't a fan of spice, leave out the cayenne, add whatever spice you'd like.  Rosemary is always a winner, and my family loves cumin and oregano on everything.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs bone-in, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 2 tsp. dried basil
• Salt and pepper
• 1/4 tsp. cayenne powder

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
2. Rub some olive oil onto chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Toss veggies in remaining oil and season with salt and pepper. Place chicken onto pan and arrange veggies around chicken. Sprinkle entire pan with garlic powder, basil, and cayenne. Place into oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until chicken reaches 160F (depends on the thickness of your chicken breasts.)
