Sheet Pan Bacon Wrapped Chicken & Veggies
This sheet pan bacon wrapped chicken & veggies is a must-try dinner. Juicy chicken, roasted broccoli, carrots and potatoes are on your table in less than 40 minutes!
Servings: 4 Portions
Ingredients
For the veggies:
- 2 Carrots
- 2 large Potatoes
- 14 ounces Broccoli (400g)
- 2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp Turmeric Powder
- Salt & Black Pepper
- ½ Lemon
For the chicken:
- 1 lb Chicken Breasts (440g)
- 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
- Salt & Black Pepper
- 3.5 ounces Bacon Slices (100g)
Instructions
- Wash the vegetables. Peel the carrots and potato and slice them thin. Cut broccoli into larger florets and place these in a large bowl altogether with sliced carrots and potato. Season with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, pepper and turmeric powder. Squeeze some lemon juice over (optional). Give it a good mix so the veggies are coated as evenly as possible.
- Cut each breast into 3-4 chunky pieces (preferably similar size). Season them with salt, pepper and turmeric. Wrap a bacon slice around each piece and secure it with a toothpick.
- Line a sheet pan/large baking tray with baking paper (for easy cleaning) and spread the veggies around. Place the chicken pieces over and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F/200°C for 20 minutes or until the chicken and veggies are cooked through.
Notes
- Extra virgin olive oil or just normal olive oil both work well.
- I recommend not to over-season the chicken with salt. Bear in mind that bacon itself is quite salty.
- Lemon can be omitted.
- Carrots, potatoes, broccoli – feel free to increase or decrease the amount of the veggies to your liking. Just make sure the carrots and potatoes are not cut too thick.
- Avoid dividing broccoli into very small florets. They tend to burn and dry out.
- Turmeric powder will stain your hands so use gloves if preferred.
