Roast Basil Chicken and Veggies

From all the cooking I have been doing lately, I found I am drawn to recipes that call for a good amount of Basil. This recipe is no different. I love Basil. It adds great flavor. This dish is super easy to make and the best part is it is very healthy. You can substitute a different vegetable for the asparagus if you like, I used halved bussell sprouts because my grocery store was out of asparagus. It turned out well!

Do be sure to "toss" the contents every now and then while it is cooking. This will help the vegetables to get a nice coat of the olive oil, which will add flavor.
