Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Rub 4 chicken breasts with 1 tbsp olive oil, then sprinkle with 1/2 tsp lemon zest, 1/2 tsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp thyme, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Step 2: Arrange 2 cups mixed vegetables around the chicken on a baking sheet. Drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/4 tsp salt.
Step 3: Bake for 20-25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally and vegetables are tender.
Step 4: While chicken bakes, combine 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/2 tsp lemon zest, and 1/2 tsp lemon juice in a small bowl.
Step 5: Remove chicken and vegetables from oven. Let rest for 5 minutes, then pour broth mixture over the top. Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges.
