Toss potatoes, carrots, onions, and broccoli with 1 tbsp olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet.

Add chicken, season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for 6–8 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.
Add a splash of soy sauce or lemon juice for extra depth.
Combine & Finish: Mix roasted veggies and cooked chicken together in a large bowl or plate
