Notes

You can substitute chicken breasts with chicken thighs or fish fillets if preferred. Broccoli can be swapped for cauliflower, zucchini, or green beans. Use any cooking oil you like, such as avocado or grapeseed oil. For extra flavor, consider adding grated Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage. When reheating, keep the broccoli crisp by reheating it separately in a pan with a bit of olive oil. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve over a bed of rice or quinoa for a more filling meal.
