• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 pieces Zucchini, sliced
• 1 piece Red bell pepper, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 6

Add the zucchini, red bell pepper, and carrots to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Stir in the fresh rosemary, thyme, parsley, and cherry tomatoes. Cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 8

Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze it.

Step 9

Place the seared chicken breasts back into the skillet on top of the vegetables.

Step 10

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve the chicken with the roasted vegetables, drizzling any pan juices over the top for extra flavor.
