Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 medium Zucchini, sliced into rounds
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 small Red onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish, and pour half of the marinade over them. Reserve the remaining marinade for the vegetables.

Step 4

Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate the chicken for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.

Step 5

While the chicken marinates, prepare the vegetables: slice the zucchini, halve the cherry tomatoes, and slice the red onion.

Step 6

Toss the prepared vegetables in a bowl with the remaining marinade, ensuring even coating.

Step 7

Arrange the marinated chicken breasts in a single layer on a large baking sheet or ovenproof skillet.

Step 8

Distribute the marinated vegetables evenly around the chicken on the baking sheet.

Step 9

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) using an instant-read thermometer.

Step 10

Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your South Beach Chicken with a side of leafy greens or a whole-grain option for a balanced meal.
