Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp dried rosemary, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the herb rub.
2. Step 2: Rub the herb mixture evenly over 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each). Place chicken in a baking dish.
3. Step 3: In a large bowl, toss 3 peeled and 1-inch pieces carrots, 1 large red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces, 2 medium zucchini sliced into 1/2-inch rounds, and 1 medium yellow onion cut into wedges with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt.
4. Step 4: Spread the vegetables around the chicken in the baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
