This is a great meal to prepare ahead of time.  I choose to buy chicken tenderloins instead of the chicken breasts because they are already in strips and I only have to make several cuts to prepare.

You can prep your vegetables earlier in the day.  Be sure and put the cut up potatoes into cold water so they will not change color.  You can always substitute different vegetables as long as they are cut to a size that allows them to cook in the same time period as the other vegetables.  For instance snow peas are a great substitute. I also prepare my broccoli stalks and use them in the recipe. If you need assistance in preparing broccoli stalks, watch my video for instruction.

Put the oil, chicken, vegetables and spices into a large bowl.  Mix to coat well with the oil. 

You should use a sheet pan with sides or a broiler pan works great.  Lightly oil the pan to keep the chicken and veggies from sticking.  Now spread the mixture onto the sheet pan and bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. 

Turn and cook the other side for an additional 15 minutes or until tender.  Drizzle the meal with the fresh lemon juice and serve.
