INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/2 medium Zucchini
1/4 medium Red Onion
2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Mixed Fresh Herbs
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and half of the mixed fresh herbs.
Finely mince the garlic and combine with the remaining herbs and lemon juice. Rub this mixture over the chicken for a fragrant herb crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp of olive oil. Sear the chicken breast for 3-4 minutes on each side until it develops a golden crust, then reduce the heat to medium and let cook through for an additional 3-4 minutes.
While the chicken cooks, preheat your oven to 400°F. Chop the red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into bite-size pieces. Toss the vegetables with the remaining 1 tsp of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.
Plate the chicken breast alongside the roasted vegetables and serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
