👨‍🍳

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat and Prepare

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Make Herb Crust

    In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs, parsley, thyme, rosemary, minced garlic, lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Mix until well combined and mixture holds together when pressed.

  3. 3

    Prepare Vegetables

    In a large bowl, toss zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, and baby potatoes with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

  4. 4

    Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Spread vegetables evenly on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Place chicken breasts on the other side, leaving space between each piece.

  5. 5

    Apply Herb Crust

    Press the herb mixture firmly onto the top of each chicken breast, creating an even coating that adheres well to the meat.

  6. 6

    Roast Everything

    Roast in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken reaches internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.

  7. 7

    Rest and Serve

    Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Drizzle fresh lemon juice over chicken and vegetables before serving immediately.

Chef's Tips

For extra crispy herb crust, broil for the last 2-3 minutes. Make sure vegetables are cut uniformly for even cooking. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is perfectly cooked.
