Rachael uses fresh vegetables—like snap peas + asparagus—to boost flavor in her one-pan chicken dinner. 

Pro tip: Rach halves the chicken breast in her Spring Chicken With Vegetables so that the white pieces match the dark meat for even cooking times—all the more reason to love this one-pan dinner recipe.
