Instructions

Step 1:

Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, mix the lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped garlic, 1 tbsp olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Step 2:

Marinate the Chicken

Place the chicken breast fillets in the marinade and let them sit for at least 20 minutes (longer is better to intensify the flavor).

Step 3:

Prepare the Roasted Vegetables

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Place the bell pepper, zucchini, mushrooms, and red onion on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Add the remaining olive oil, paprika powder, salt, and pepper, and mix everything well.

Step 4:

Roast the Vegetables

Place the vegetables in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, until tender and slightly browned.

Step 5:

Cook the Chicken

While the vegetables are in the oven, heat a pan over medium heat and cook the chicken breast fillets for 5-7 minutes on each side, until fully cooked through.

Step 6:

Serve

Arrange the chicken on plates along with the roasted vegetables and drizzle with some fresh lemon juice if desired.

Notes/Tips

• Extend Marinating Time: The longer the chicken marinates, the more intense the flavor will be.

• Vegetable Variations: You can adjust the vegetables as desired, e.g., add sweet potatoes to make the dish more filling.
