Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then rub with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Mix thyme, rosemary, garlic, and remaining 2 tbsp olive oil in a small bowl. Spread evenly over chicken breasts, pressing herbs to adhere.
  3. Step 3: Arrange zucchini, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and red onion in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper, and toss until coated.
  4. Step 4: Place chicken breasts on top of vegetables. Roast for 22-25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally and vegetables are tender with slightly caramelized edges.
  5. Step 5: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving, allowing juices to redistribute and herbs to set.
