Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 medium zucchinis sliced into half-moons
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 1 small red onion sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano

  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Optional: crumbled feta cheese and fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add chicken breasts, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and red onion to the bowl. Toss well to coat everything evenly.
  4. Arrange the chicken and vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender.
  6. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cooked dish.
  7. Garnish with crumbled feta cheese and fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the olive oil and spices mixture for 30 minutes before cooking.
Swap zucchini for eggplant or bell peppers for variety.
Serve with warm pita bread or over cooked quinoa or rice for a complete meal.
Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
