Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 2 bell peppers, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large sheet pan.
Spread the cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion evenly across the pan.
Place the chicken breasts on top of the vegetables. Drizzle everything with olive oil and lemon juice.
Sprinkle the garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper over the chicken and vegetables. Use clean hands or tongs to gently toss the vegetables so they’re nicely coated.
Lay the lemon slices over the chicken.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches 165°F (74°C) in the center. The vegetables should be tender, juicy, and slightly golden in places.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Presentation
Serve this right from the sheet pan for a casual, family-style meal, or plate each chicken breast with a generous scoop of roasted vegetables.
For a pretty finish, add a few extra lemon slices and a little more chopped parsley on top. It pairs beautifully with fluffy rice, quinoa, roasted potatoes, couscous, or a crisp green salad.
