Lemon Herb Sheet Pan Chicken & Mediterranean Veggies ingredients

• 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 large bell peppers (any color), sliced
• 2 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
• 1 medium red onion, sliced into wedges
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 3/4 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

How to make Lemon Herb Sheet Pan Chicken & Mediterranean Veggies

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Pat the 1.5 lbs of chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Cut them into 1-inch pieces to ensure even cooking and quick preparation.
3. In a large bowl, combine the sliced 2 large bell peppers, 2 medium zucchini, 1 medium red onion, and 1 pint of cherry tomatoes.
4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 4 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp garlic powder, 3/4 tsp kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the dressing.
5. Pour half of the prepared dressing over the chopped chicken pieces in a medium bowl, tossing to coat evenly. Pour the remaining dressing over the vegetables in the large bowl, tossing until all vegetables are lightly coated.
6. Arrange the seasoned chicken pieces and vegetables in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. If necessary, use two sheet pans.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the vegetables are tender-crisp. You can stir once halfway through cooking for even browning.
8. Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Let the chicken and vegetables rest for 5 minutes before serving.
9. Garnish with 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley before serving hot. This dish is excellent on its own or alongside quinoa or brown rice.
