    1

    Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (218 degrees Celsius).

    2

    In a large bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of paprika to make a marinade.

    3

    Add the chicken to the marinade and coat evenly. Allow it to marinate for about 15 minutes.

    4

    While the chicken is marinating, wash and cut the potatoes into quarters and chop the broccoli into florets.

    5

    In a separate bowl, toss the potatoes and broccoli with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.

    6

    After marinating, place the chicken in the center of a roasting pan, surrounded by the seasoned potatoes and broccoli.

    7

    Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the chicken and vegetables for added flavor.

    8

    Roast in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit or 74 degrees Celsius).
