When you are tired after a long day, the last thing you want is a sink full of dishes. This one pan dinner is my favorite way to get a balanced, low carb meal on the table without any fuss. Everything roasts together beautifully so the chicken stays tender while the vegetables get perfectly caramelized.

My top tip for this recipe is to cut your vegetables into similar sizes so they cook at the same rate. If you have some extra lemon slices, tuck them under the chicken thighs for an even brighter, fresher flavor.

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 pound broccoli florets
1 large zucchini, sliced into half moons
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 lemon, sliced into rounds

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
Place the chicken breasts in the center of a large rimmed baking sheet.
3
Arrange the broccoli and zucchini slices in a single layer around the chicken.
4
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
5
Drizzle the mixture over the chicken and vegetables, using your hands or a brush to ensure everything is coated well.
6
Top the chicken with the lemon slices.
7
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees and the vegetables are tender.
8
Let the chicken rest for five minutes before serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can easily swap the broccoli for asparagus or bell peppers depending on what you have in your pantry. This meal is great for weekday lunch meal prep.
