Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 2-4 split chicken breasts, depending on size (aka bone-in, skin-on)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dill
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon white pepper (omit for AIP)
  • ¼ teaspoon arrowroot powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda

Broccoli

  • 4 cups broccoli, chopped into florets (~2 small heads)1
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 lemon wedges
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425F and pat chicken breasts dry. Trim off the rib meat and cut larger breasts into smaller chunks.
  • Mix all seasonings in a small ramekin. Generously and evenly coat the breasts with the seasonings.
  • Coat a crisper rack with oil, then place the chicken on the rack. Bake for 10 minutes.
  • While chicken is baking, rinse the broccoli florets then coat with oil, lemon juice and salt. Put on a baking tray and add to the oven with the chicken. Bake for 18-20 more minutes.
  • The chicken will be done when the internal temp reaches 165F. Broccoli is done when easily pierced with a fork. Drizzle extra lemon juice over the broccoli and chicken before serving (optional). Enjoy!

Notes

  • Cut off any attached rib section as it tends to overcook.
  • Chop the breasts into two or three pieces if they are large. This will avoid burning the outside before the internal temp reaches 165F.
  • Use a crisper rack for the chicken to ensure the skin gets crispy. Position the thickest parts of the chicken toward the outside of the rack.
  • Do not overcrowd the broccoli on the pan otherwise it will be soggy.
