Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 bell peppers (red and yellow), sliced

  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup pitted olives (green or kalamata)
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Your Chicken: In a large bowl, combine chicken breasts with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
  3. Chop Your Veggies: Slice bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  4. Assemble on Sheet Pan: Place the marinated chicken in the center of the prepared sheet pan. Arrange the chopped vegetables around the chicken.
  5. Roast Away: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and vegetables are tender but slightly crisp.
  6. Serve It Up: Transfer everything to plates and drizzle any pan juices over for extra flavor.
