Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat 2 chicken breasts (4 oz each) dry, then rub with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp sea salt, 1/8 tsp black pepper, and 1 minced garlic clove. Mix 1 tbsp chopped rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped thyme, and 1 minced garlic clove, then press evenly over chicken.
  2. Step 2: Arrange 1/2 cup diced zucchini, 1/2 cup diced bell peppers, and 1/4 cup diced onion on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with 1/8 tsp salt, and toss to coat. Roast for 15 minutes until tender.
  3. Step 3: Place herb-crusted chicken on the same baking sheet with vegetables. Bake for 12-15 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are golden at edges.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven, let rest 5 minutes, then serve chicken with roasted vegetables.
