After 30 minutes, open the foil and put vegetables on side of the chicken, springle some salt over vegetables, cover again with foil and cook for another 15-20 minutes, depending how you like your chicken and vegetables. Cut the thick part of chicken breast or pierce a fork to check the doneness. Yes, we are done with our simple but healthy Chicken Veggie Roast. Enjoy! Chicken tastes better if cooked well, but not dry. Juice left after cooking can be poured over vegetables while serving.

Now fry coriander powder, garam masala and turmeric powder in the remaining oil in kadai. There shouldn't be any oil visible in the Kadai at this point. Now add the already marinated chicken into Kadai and mix well. When the masala gets evenly on chicken pieces, keep the Kadai closed for 5 minutes on medium heat.
