Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces, broccoli florets, bell pepper pieces, and red onion wedges.
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until well coated.
Spread the seasoned chicken and vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure everything has some space to roast properly; overcrowding can lead to steaming rather than roasting.
Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, and the vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly browned. The exact time will depend on the size of your chicken and vegetable pieces.
Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the roasted chicken and vegetables. Toss gently to combine.
