Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a small skillet. Toast saffron threads 15 seconds until fragrant, then add lemon juice and let cool.
Step 2
Toss chicken chunks with saffron-lemon mixture, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Let sit while prepping vegetables.
Step 3
Arrange tomatoes, broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower on a large sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 tbsp oil, salt, and pepper.
Step 4
Add marinated chicken to the pan, spreading everything in a single layer. Roast at 425°F for 22 minutes.
Step 5
Toss the pan halfway through cooking (at 11 minutes) to ensure even browning and prevent sticking.
Step 6
Finish with lemon zest and a pinch of salt. Serve hot directly from the pan.
