Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 lemons, 1 juiced and 1 thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1-1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
- 1-1/2 pounds new potatoes, quartered
- 5 medium carrots, cut into ½-inch coins (about 1 pound)

- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken, potatoes, carrots, and parsnips to the dressing and coat to toss.
- Gently pour the vegetables and chicken onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are in a single layer. Top with the lemon slices. Place in the oven and roast for 40 to 45 minutes until the chicken reaches a minimum internal cooking temperature of 165-degrees Fahrenheit.
