Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lay the 1 pound chicken breasts on the prepared pan and rub with the seasonings (1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and Kosher salt and pepper) and half a tablespoon of the 1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil.
In a large bowl, combine all the prepped veggies (1 small head of broccoli, 1 large red bell pepper, and 1 large red onion). Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of oil. Season with salt and pepper and thoroughly toss to coat.
Arrange the vegetables around the chicken in the sheet pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink on the inside, and veggies are tender with a slight crunch.
Allow the chicken to sit for a few minutes before slicing it. Garnish with 1 tablespoon minced parsley.

Notes
You may use boneless and skinless chicken thighs. Nutritional values and cooking time will vary.
Use any of your favorite veggies.
Swap the chicken with shrimp or salmon.
The cooking time of the chicken may be different depending on your oven and how thick and large the chicken breasts are. Consider slicing the chicken breast so it cooks quicker, or if you feel the chicken isn't cooked thoroughly in 25 minutes, give it another 5-10 minutes.
Best to check the internal temperature of the chicken for doneness. Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165F.
