Instructions

1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 3 tbsp lemon juice, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Step 2: Place 4 chicken breasts in a large resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 3-4 hours for deeper flavor.
3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear.
4. Step 4: While the chicken grills, preheat oven to 425°F. On a baking sheet, toss 2 sliced zucchini, 1 large cut red bell pepper, 1 medium cut red onion, and 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt.
5. Step 5: Roast vegetables in the oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
6. Step 6: Serve grilled chicken breasts alongside the roasted Mediterranean vegetables, garnishing with fresh thyme if desired.
