Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 lemon (zested and juiced)

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 cups baby potatoes, halved

1 cup cherry tomatoes

1 cup bell peppers (mixed colors), sliced

1 cup zucchini, sliced

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.

    Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts into a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

      Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

        Prep the Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes, cherry tomatoes, sliced bell peppers, and zucchini with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of dried oregano. Mix until the veggies are evenly coated.

          Combine Everything in One Pan: In a large baking dish or sheet pan, spread the marinated chicken breasts in the center. Arrange the seasoned vegetables around the chicken in a single layer.

            Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C) and the veggies are tender. If the chicken browns too quickly, you can cover it loosely with aluminum foil.

              Serve & Garnish: Once cooked, remove the pan from the oven. Let it rest for a few minutes, then garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm and enjoy your zesty lemon herb meal!
