Instructions

1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup lemon juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the marinade. Place 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Step 2: Preheat oven to 425°F. On a large baking sheet, toss 2 sliced zucchinis, 1 large red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces, 1 medium red onion cut into wedges, and 3 medium carrots cut into 1/2-inch sticks with 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
3. Step 3: While vegetables roast, preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove chicken breasts from marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and chicken is nicely charred.
4. Step 4: Transfer grilled chicken to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve chicken sliced on top of roasted vegetables, garnished with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for a fresh finish.
