Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place chicken breasts on a parchment-lined baking sheet, then brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/2 tablespoon fresh dill. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 22-25 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F and edges are golden.
  2. Step 2: While chicken roasts, toss asparagus, zucchini, and sliced shallot with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a separate baking sheet and roast for 15-18 minutes until tender-crisp and slightly caramelized.
  3. Step 3: Whisk together white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, 1/2 tablespoon fresh dill, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl. Gradually drizzle in 1 tablespoon olive oil while whisking until emulsified.
  4. Step 4: Slice roasted chicken diagonally, then arrange over roasted vegetables. Drizzle with herb vinaigrette and sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon chopped chives and 1/2 tablespoon dill.
