Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 lemons, juiced and zested
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as carrots, bell peppers, and zucchini), chopped
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2. In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, thyme leaves, rosemary leaves, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- 3. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the chicken is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
- 4. In the meantime, prepare the roasted vegetables. In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables, balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.
- 5. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- 6. While the vegetables are roasting, remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on a separate baking sheet. Discard the remaining marinade.
- 7. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- 8. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- 9. Serve the baked lemon herb chicken with the roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
