Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the broccoli florets on the baking sheet with 0.5 tbsp of olive oil and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Roast the broccoli for 18-20 minutes until the edges are golden and slightly crisp.
While the broccoli roasts, season the chicken breast on both sides with dried oregano, garlic powder, and the remaining sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the remaining 0.5 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet and sear for 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Turn off the heat and pour the lemon juice and lemon zest over the chicken, turning it to coat in the pan juices.
Serve the lemon chicken alongside the roasted broccoli over a bed of warm cooked rice.
