Instructions
To create your Sheet Pan Mediterranean Chicken & Zucchini, follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
3. Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or bowl and pour half of the marinade over them. Toss to coat and let sit for at least 10 minutes.
4. Prepare vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, red onion, and bell peppers. Drizzle with the remaining marinade and toss to coat evenly.
5. Arrange on a sheet pan: Place the marinated chicken breasts in the center of a large baking sheet. Surround with the seasoned vegetables.
6. Bake in the oven: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender.
7. Check doneness: Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
8. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
