Hemp Seed Oil Lemon Herb Chicken with Roasted Vegetables
2 Servings
Ingredients:
For the chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons hemp seed oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the roasted vegetables:
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 2 cups baby carrots
- 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
- 2 tablespoons hemp seed oil
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C
- In a small bowl, whisk together the hemp seed oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper to create the marinade for the chicken.
- Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each breast is evenly coated. Allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
- While the chicken is marinating, prepare the roasted vegetables. In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes, baby carrots, and halved Brussels sprouts with hemp seed oil, dried rosemary, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place the marinated chicken breasts on another baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each breast.
- Roast the chicken and vegetables in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and caramelized, stirring the vegetables halfway through.
- Once the chicken and vegetables are done roasting, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the hemp seed oil lemon herb chicken alongside the roasted vegetables.
- Garnish with additional chopped fresh parsley or thyme if desired.
This flavorful and nutritious hemp seed oil lemon herb chicken with roasted vegetables makes for a satisfying and wholesome dinner that's perfect for any night of the week. Enjoy!
