Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
Dice vegetables and add them to the sheet pan along with chicken breasts or thighs (chicken can be diced if preferred).
Toss everything with olive oil and base seasoning. For the Mediterranean, add lemon juice and Greek seasoning. For the BBQ chicken, add ranch seasoning. For the honey mustard, you will add enough sauce to coat the ingredients.
Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping once if needed. Larger root vegetables (like thick-cut carrots or potatoes) may need 10 extra minutes. If using thick chicken breasts, either pair with longer-cooking veggies or remove the chicken once it reaches 165°F.
Serve with your favorite grain and add your chosen flavor boosters. I usually pair these with batch-cooked rice or quinoa, which makes dinner come together fast.
Notes

Serve over rice or preferred grain, in a wrap or pita, over a salad. Whatever you prefer! I highly recommend batch cooking grains so this dinner comes together easily.
Nutritonal information is just an estimation but calculated for the honey mustard chicken and without a grain.
