Ingredients

Units

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup olive oil
4 large cloves garlic, pressed
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp fresh lemon zest
1 tbsp dried oregano
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
8 baby red potatoes, halved
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch wide strips
1 red onion, cut into 1-inch wedges
1 lemon, thinly sliced

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place chicken breasts into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2
Whisk olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Brush some of the mixture onto chicken.
3
Place potatoes, bell pepper, onion, and lemon slices into a bowl; pour in remaining lemon juice mixture and toss to coat. Arrange vegetables and lemon slices around chicken in the baking dish.
4
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Brush chicken and vegetables with the pan drippings.
5
Continue to bake until chicken is browned, the juices run clear, and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast reads at least 165°F (74°C), about 30 more minutes.
