  • Total Time: 40-45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 large zucchinis, sliced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh basil and lemon wedges (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix together oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Combine 2 tablespoons olive oil and minced garlic for the marinade.
  2. Brush the chicken breasts with the garlic olive oil mixture and rub with the seasoning blend. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Place the chicken on a large baking sheet. Arrange the sliced zucchinis, cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onions around the chicken. Drizzle remaining olive oil over vegetables and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). The vegetables should be tender and roasted.
  5. Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with chopped fresh basil and lemon wedges. Serve hot with your favorite side.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add Kalamata olives or artichoke hearts.
  • Crumbled feta cheese can be added before serving for extra creaminess.
  • Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for juicier results.
  • Swap vegetables such as bell peppers or eggplant for variety.
