  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
  3. Place chicken breasts in a large bowl or zip-top bag and coat thoroughly with the marinade.
  4. Toss zucchini, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper in another bowl.
  5. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Arrange the marinated chicken in the center and spread vegetables evenly around it.
  6. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and vegetables are tender.
  7. Sprinkle chopped parsley or basil on top before serving for added freshness.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute chicken with fish fillets or tofu for vegetarian options.
  • Use fresh herbs instead of dried spices for a more intense flavor.
  • Add red pepper flakes for extra heat if desired.
