Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Brine the chicken: Fill a large mixing bowl with water and add 3 tablespoon kosher salt. Stir to dissolve. Add the chicken breasts and let them sit for 15–30 minutes while you prep the veggies and preheat the oven.
Prep the veggies: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Cut the sweet potato, parsnips, and carrots into 1½-inch pieces. Peel the garlic cloves. If using Brussels sprouts, halve them. Toss all the veggies and garlic with 2 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
Roast the veggies: Place the baking sheet with the veggies in the oven and roast for 20 minutes.
Prepare the chicken: Meanwhile, after brining, remove the chicken breasts and pat them dry. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and season with salt, pepper, fresh thyme, and sage.
Add the chicken: After roasting the veggies for 20 minutes, carefully toss the veggies and place the seasoned chicken breasts on top. Roast for another 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the veggies are tender.
