Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 small red onion, cut into wedges
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
Brush both sides of each chicken breast with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
In a separate bowl, toss the carrots, zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Arrange the vegetables around the chicken breasts on the baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the chicken breasts with fresh lemon juice.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
