Ingredients

Option 1: "Plain" but seasoned

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
3 tablespoons oil, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
5–6 medium carrots, peeled, halved lengthwise, cut on the bias into 1 1/2" pieces (about 1 pound)
2 medium zucchini (about 1 pound), ends trimmed, cut on the bias into 1" pieces

Option 2: Add a little more flavor

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divded
1/2 cup mild or medium-heat mango chutney
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Option 3: Take it next level

1/2 cup plain full- or low-fat Greek yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh orange juice
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro or parsley leaves
3 tablespoons finely chopped roasted, salted cashews

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 400°F.

  2. Option 1: "Plain" but seasoned

    Step 2

    If you'd like your chicken plain, toss breasts with 1 Tbsp. oil and 3/4 tsp. salt on a rimmed baking sheet.
    For simple roasted vegetables, toss carrots and zucchini with 2 Tbsp. oil and 3/4 tsp. salt on a rimmed baking sheet.

    Step 3

    Option 2: Add a little more flavor
    Season chicken with 1/4 tsp. pepper, then spread 2 Tbsp. mango chutney over top of each breast. Roast on top rack until an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F, 23–28 minutes.
    Toss carrots and zucchini with cumin, cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Roast on bottom rack, tossing once halfway through, until cooked through, tender, and browned in spots, 25–30 minutes.

    Step 4

    Option 3: Take it next level
    Make a curried yogurt sauce for the chicken: Mix yogurt, orange juice, curry powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
    For a fresh and crunchy topping for the vegetables, mix cilantro and cashews in a small bowl.

  3. Step 5

    Divide chicken and vegetables among plates. Serve curried yogurt sauce and cilantro-cashew mixture alongside.
