Roasted Rosemary Chicken Tenders and Veggies
Rosemary Roasted Chicken Tenders and Veggies are SO DELICIOUS and fragrant and a total CINCH to make!!
This dinner was super quick to throw together and it was a hit with the whole family. My kids tend to be picky but they have gotten better about trying new things.
Rosemary has a unique scent and flavor. I love it. I especially love the rosemary bushes that have been shaped into trees you find around Christmas time. Do you know the ones I’m talking about? I always find them at Home Depot or Lowes. They smell SO GOOD.
Anyway, back to this recipe. I used fresh chicken tenders. You can save a little money by buying chicken breasts and then cutting them into tenders yourself. I found the tenders on sale and that makes it so much easy when it’s time to cook dinner if the chicken is already cut. Plus it means I don’t have to touch the raw chicken as much (raw chicken is GROSS).

How to make Rosemary Roasted Chicken Tenders and Veggies
You’ll need a package of chicken tenders, one head of cauliflower, 2 florets of broccoli, salt, pepper, dried rosemary, and olive oil.
Salt & pepper the chicken tenders, then sprinkle with dried rosemary… and set the chicken aside.
Chop the broccoli & cauliflower into bite-size pieces…
Add the broccoli and cauliflower to a large bowl, drizzle with oil, add salt, pepper, & rosemary and toss well.
Drizzle olive oil on a large baking sheet, spread the cauliflower and broccoli out the evening over the pan…set aside for now.
Heat olive oil in a skillet on high to medium-high heat. Wait until the pan is good and hot to add the chicken tenders, you only want to sear the chicken to give it a nice browning and also to seal the juices in when you roast it.
Flip the chicken…look how delicious it already looks!
Once both sides of the chicken are browned nicely, (the chicken will still not done be in the center), add the tenders to the baking sheet of broccoli and cauliflower.
Bake (roast) the chicken tenders and veggies for about 20-30 minutes turning once during cooking.
And that’s it! How scrumptious does this look? My mouth is watering!
The chicken is so tender and juicy…. and DELISH!!
