Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil/parchment paper and coat with cooking spray or drizzle of oil.
- Combine broccoli, cauliflower, shallots, oil for veggies, salt and pepper for veggies in a large bowl. Toss well to coat. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

- Remove from oven to toss the vegetables and drizzle the chicken with vinegar. Sprinkle all with Parmesan and continue roasting until the vegetables are tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken without touching bone registers 165 degrees F, about 10 more minutes.
