WEEKDAY DINNER IDEAS

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • - 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • - 1 lemon juiced and zested
  • - 4 cloves garlic minced
  • - 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • - Salt and pepper to taste
  • - 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • - 1 cup green beans trimmed
  • - 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • - Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a large mixing bowl and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
  • In a large, oven-safe skillet, arrange the marinated chicken breasts. Surround them with the cherry tomatoes, green beans, and red bell pepper slices. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the vegetables.
  • Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). The vegetables should be tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
  • When cooking this dish, keep an eye on the chicken to avoid overcooking, which can lead to dryness.
  • If you prefer a crispier texture, you can broil the chicken and vegetables for the last few minutes of cooking.
  • Feel free to experiment with different herbs or spices to suit your taste, and don't hesitate to switch up the vegetables based on what you have on hand.
  • Enjoy your flavorful, one-pan dinner!
