- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients. Pour the marinade into a large resealable bag with the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (and up to overnight).
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray, or use a silicone baking mat with no cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the vegetables, oil, and rosemary, and toss to evenly coat.
- Arrange the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Cook for 30 minutes until they begin to brown and soften.
- After 30 minutes, turn the vegetables with a spatula, and place the chicken in the center of the sheet. Discard the remaining marinade. Season the chicken with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper.
- Cook for an additional 28-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are fork tender and the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
