Ingredients

• 4 pcs boneless chicken breasts
• 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
• 1 medium, sliced zucchini
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp, chopped fresh thyme
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add 2 tbsp olive oil, then toss 4 chicken breasts with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp thyme. Arrange on the sheet.
