The tangy brightness of fresh lemon and aromatic herbs enhances the natural flavors of a juicy chicken breast, while tender roasted carrots, zucchini, and red bell pepper create a colorful, wholesome accompaniment.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 tsp Olive Oil (for chicken marinade)
1/2 Lemon (zested and juiced)
1 Garlic Clove, minced
1/2 tsp Dried Rosemary
1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 medium Carrot, cut into sticks
1 small Zucchini, sliced
1/2 Red Bell Pepper, sliced
1 tsp Olive Oil (for vegetables)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, juice and zest of 1/2 lemon, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour half of the lemon herb mixture over it. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, toss the carrot sticks, zucchini slices, and red bell pepper pieces in the remaining lemon herb mixture along with an extra teaspoon of olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Arrange the marinated chicken breast on one side of the baking sheet and spread the vegetables on the other side in a single layer.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
If desired, broil for the last 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness on the chicken and a bit of char on the vegetables. Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
