Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the 2 chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, then rub to coat evenly.
  2. Step 2: Arrange the sliced zucchini, thinly sliced yellow onion, and sliced red bell pepper around the chicken. Add the 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, then drizzle with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and toss gently to combine.
  3. Step 3: Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F internally and vegetables are tender with golden edges, stirring once halfway through cooking.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup fresh parsley.
