Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

Juice of 2 large lemons

Zest of 1 lemon

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 medium zucchini, diced

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 red onion, diced

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinade the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor).

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

      Prepare the Veggies: While the chicken is marinating, prepare your vegetables. In a large mixing bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and toss to coat evenly.

        Assemble in the Pan: Place the marinated chicken breasts in the center of a large, rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan. Arrange the mixed veggies around the chicken, ensuring everything is in a single layer.

          Bake: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C) and the vegetables are tender. If desired, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for a golden finish.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your delicious one-pan meal!
